Anisotropic 3-D wavelet packet bases for video coding
نویسنده
چکیده
Video coding algorithms based on 3-D wavelet transforms exist which have a competitive rate-distortion performance and are very fast because motion compensation is not needed. The compression efficiency of these algorithms can be increased by the use of more general wavelet packet transforms. Anisotropic wavelet packets are an even more generalized type of wavelet transform, where multidimensional wavelets do not necessarily have equal dilations in each dimension. This property is advantageous especially for 3-D video coding because video data has different characteristics in the time and spatial dimensions. This paper developes methods to adapt the SMAWZ codec to anisotropic 3-D wavelet packet bases and investigates algorithm complexity and the resulting rate-distortion performance. It can be shown that there exists a fixed anisotropic wavelet packet basis that is able to outperform MPEG-4 by up to 4dB especially for video sequences with low motion.

Zerotree image compression using anisotropic wavelet packet transform
The anisotropic wavelet packet transform is an extension of the conventional wavelet (packet) transform where the basis can have di erent scales in di erent dimensions. As there are certain kinds of images with di erent behaviour in horizontal and vertical direction, anisotropic wavelet packet bases can be adapted more precisely to these images. Zero-tree image compression has already proved it...
متن کاملMotion Analysis of 3-d Dual-tree Discrete Wavelet Transform
3-D dual-tree discrete wavelet transform (DDWT) is attractive for video representation since it isolates motion along different directions in its directional subbands, and has been employed for video coding. In this paper, we analyze its efficiency in capturing motion activities. Similar analysis is then extended to 3-D anisotropic DDWT (ADDWT). Experiments verify the effectiveness of our analy...

Multiple description coding (MDC) schemes have become popular as robustness tools in packet switched networks where multiple paths with varying packet loss rates are available. In this paper we propose a new MDC scheme for video using 3D wavelet decomposition. The spatio-temporal coefficients are then grouped using either a random, uniform scheme or a hierarchical scheme. The descriptions are c...

In this paper we propose a low-complexity errorresilient and joint source-channel video coding algorithms for video codec based on three-dimensional discrete wavelet transform (3-D DWT).
