A DCT-Domain Video Transcoder for Spatial Resolution Downconversion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Video transcoding is an efficient way for rate adaptation and format conversion in various networked video applications. Several transcoder architectures have been proposed to achieve fast processing. Recently, thanks to its relatively low complexity, the DCT-domain transcoding schemes have become very attractive. In this paper, we investigate efficient architectures for video downscaling in the DCT domain. We propose an efficient method for composing downscaled motion vectors and determining coding modes. We also present a fast algorithm to extract partial DCT coefficients in the DCT-MC operation and a simplified cascaded DCT-domain video transcoder architecture.

Video Transcoder in DCT-Domain Spatial Resolution Reduction Using Low-Complexity Motion Vector Refinement Algorithm
We address the topic of spatial-downscaling video transcoder in DCT-domain. The proposed techniques include the hierarchical fast motion resampling (HFMR) with accuracy motion resampling, the fast refinement for nonintegral (FRNI) motion vector (MV), and the dynamic regulating search (DRS) with low-complexity motion vector refinement. Two kinds of motion vector refinement algorithms in DRS are ...

For the conventional downscaling video transcoder. the video server would be to first decompress the video, perform the downscaling operation in the pixel domain. and then recompress it. This is computational intensive. However, i t is difiieult to perfonn video downscaling i n the DCT-donlain since the prediction errors of each frame are computed from its immediate past higher resolution frame...

When the bit rate of the compressed video sequence is reduced by a frequency domain transcoder system, the rate control scheme is very important to maintain the consistent video quality. In this paper, we propose an efficient rate control scheme based on the complexity of MB while conventional transcoding schemes use that of a picture. Since the frequency domain transcoder has to calculate the ...

Due to high computational complexity and quality degradation introduced by conventional frame-skipping transcoders, a DCT-based video frame-skipping transcoder is proposed recently. However, the transcoding process of the motion compensated macroblocks in the DCT domain becomes the bottleneck since IDCT and DCT processes are required. In this paper, we propose a new architecture of the frame-sk...
