MPEG-2 nonlinear temporally scalable coding and hybrid quantization
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we investigate the MPEG-2 temporal scalability syntax and introduce a new approach to temporally scalable coding. Temporal scalability is provided by employing various nonlinear prediction and demultiplexing schemes. A nonlinear deinterlacing algorithm is presented and the related issues on interlaced, progressive and mixed mode video processing are addressed. In addition to the considered scalability techniques, a lookahead quantization scheme is presented for Pand B-type picture coding, which improves the coding performance by selective combination of the DCT domain scalar quantization and entropyconstrained vector quantization. Remarkable performance improvement over the simulcast coding is achieved.

Temporally scalable motion compensated adaptive temporal subband coding of video
It has been asserted that temporal subband coding (TSB) is inferior to predictive coding for regionally motion compensated (e.g. block-based MC) temporally scalable compressed video [1]. There are two major disadvantages of TSB coding: temporal ltering distortions, and `open-loop' predictive coding of covered and uncovered regions. The `open-loop' structure of TSB coding, however, a ords two ma...
متن کاملScalable wavelet video coding using aliasing-reduced hierarchical motion compensation
We describe a spatially scalable video coding framework in which motion correspondences between successive video frames are exploited in the wavelet transform domain. The basic motivation for our coder is that motion fields are typically smooth and, therefore, can be efficiently captured through a multiresolutional framework. A wavelet decomposition is applied to each video frame and the coeffi...

In this paper, a structure of a hybrid highly scalable video encoder with fine granularity scalability in a scheme based on a modified version of the classic MPEG-2 scalable encoder is proposed. The assumption is that high level of compatibility with the MPEG video coding standards would be ensured. In particular, it is assumed that the low-resolution base layer bitstream is fully compatible wi...
متن کاملQuantized discrete cosine transform: a combination of DCT and scalar quantization
A typical MPEG-2 video encoder requires that DCT and quantization be performed in most cases. In this paper, we show how to combine these two steps, reducing sunstantially the number of computations. The new nonlinear transform is called the Quantized Discrete Cosine Transform, or QDCT. We also introduce a new method to trade-off the computational complexity and the precision of the QDCT. Altho...
متن کاملRate Control for Scalable Video Model
Scalable video coding (SVC) has become more and more important with the enrichment of multimedia data and the diversification of network and terminal devices. In current MPEG SVC activities, a scalable extension of H.264/AVC, called scalable video model (SVM), is proposed by HHI and has shown further coding efficiency improvement and scalability functionality. However, the SVM model doesn’t pro...
