Efficient Encoding of Binary Shapes using MPEG-4
نویسنده
چکیده
MPEG-4 Visual, that part of the upcoming MPEG-4 standard describing the coding of natural and synthetic video signals, allows the encoding of video objects using motion, texture and shape information. In this paper, the MPEG-4 context-based arithmetic encoder for encoding binary shape information is presented in the context of a new MPEG-4 video encoder architecture. The encoder architecture enables us to efficiently encode lossless and lossy shape, motion and texture of a moving video object. Several non-normative choices for efficient computation and bit efficient encoding of arbitrarily shaped video objects are investigated in order to enable real-time encoding.

MPEG-4 and Rate-Distortion-Based Shape-Coding Techniques
In this paper, we address the problem of the efficient encoding of object boundaries. This problem is becoming increasingly important in applications such as content-based storage and retrieval, studio and television postproduction, and mobile multimedia applications. The MPEG-4 visual standard will allow the transmission of arbitrarily shaped video objects. The techniques developed for shape c...
متن کاملLossless Multi-Grid Chain Code with Optimized Cell Usage for Contour Description of Visual Objects
In the context of object-based image compression, shape encoders that describe the contour of the objects, called chain codes, tend to be more efficient than that the one based on bitmap, which is the MPEG-4 Part 2 framework. Among the chain codes, those based on grid cells are expected to outperform the ones that employ a symbol to code each particular boundary pixel. This paper presents a los...

Adaptive Binary Arithmetic coding is an effective mode of coding. In this paper we propose an efficient adaptive binary arithmetic coder, which is multiplication-free and look-up table free. To achieve this, we combine the probability estimation based on the virtual sliding window technique with the approximation of multiplication and the use of simple operations to calculate the next approxima...

A major problem in object oriented video coding is the efficient encoding of the shape information of arbitrarily shaped objects. Efficient shape coding schemes are also needed in encoding the shape information of Video Object Planes (VOP) in the MPEG-4 standard. In this paper, we present an efficient method for the lossy encoding of object shapes which are given as %connect chain codes [l]. We...

In this paper we propose a novel efficient adaptive binary arithmetic coder which is multiplication-free and requires no look-up tables. To achieve this, we combine the probability estimation based on a virtual sliding window with the approximation of multiplication and the use of simple operations to calculate the next approximation after the encoding of each binary symbol. We show that in com...
