چکیده

In this tutorial paper, we discuss the ITU-T H.263+ (or H.263 Version 2) low-bit-rate video coding standard. We first describe, briefly, the H.263 standard including its optional modes. We then address the 12 new negotiable modes of H.263+. Next, we present experimental results for these modes, based on our public-domain implementation (see our Web site at http://spmg.ece.ubc.ca). Tradeoffs among compression performance, complexity, and memory requirements for the H.263+ optional modes are discussed. Finally, results for mode combinations are presented.

Efficient coding and mapping algorithms for software-only real-time video coding at low bit rates

This paper presents efficient coding and mapping algorithms that lead to a significant speed improvement in low bit rate H.263/H263+ video encoding while maintaining high video reproduction quality. First, by exploiting statistical properties of low resolution and slowly varying video sequences, we reduce significantly the computation times of the most computationally intensive components of vi...

MPEG-4 Low Bit Rate Video Coding Using 2D Mesh

In this paper, we propose an implementation method, for video coding at low bit rates, which combines MPEG-4 2D meshes and H.263 video encoding. Methods for objectbased compression and composition of natural and synthetic video content are emerging in standards like MPEG-4. In this work, we only concern about the implementation of 2D uniform meshes for coding of natural scenes. In order to achi...

Improved H.263+ Rate Control via Variable Frame Rate Adjustment and Hybrid I-Frame Coding

A novel rate control algorithm consisting of two major components , i.e. a variable encoding frame rate method and a hybrid DCT/wavelet I-frame coding scheme, is proposed in this work for low bit rate video coding. Most existing rate control algorithms for low bit rate video focus on bit allocation at the macroblock level under a constant frame rate assumption. The proposed rate control algorit...

H.263+: the new ITU-T Recommendation for video coding at low bit rates

H.263+ is a revision to the 1996 version of ITU-T Recommendation H.263 that brings incremental improvements to compression performance, better support for packet-based networks, expanded support for video formats as well as other new functionality. All the new capabilities can be negotiated individually or disabled for backwards compatibility with H.263. In this paper. we review all the major n...

Hybrid Dct/wavelet I-frame Coding for Efficient H.263+ Rate Control at Low Bit Rates

At low bit rates, the bit budget for I-frame coding in H.263+ can be too high to be practical. A hybrid DCT/wavelet transform based I-frame coding is proposed in this work as a solution to the rate control problem. This new coder is compatible with the H.263+ bit stream syntax, and aims at an R-D optimized performance with a reasonable amount of computational complexity. By employing fast estim...
