Low Bit-Rate Coding of Image Sequences Using Adaptive Regions of Interest - Circuits and Systems for Video Technology, IEEE Transactions on

چکیده
An adaptive algorithm for extracting foreground objects from background in videophone or videoconference applications is presented in this paper. The algorithm uses a neural network architecture that classifies the video frames in regionsof-interest (ROI) and non-ROI areas, also being able to automatically adapt its performance to scene changes. The algorithm is incorporated in motion-compensated discrete cosine transform (MC–DCT)-based coding schemes, allocating more bits to ROI than to non-ROI areas. Simulation results are presented, using the Claire and Trevor sequences, which show reconstructed images of better quality, as well as signal-to-noise ratio improvements of about 1.4 dB, compared to those achieved by standard MC–DCT encoders.

Adaptive Spectral Separation Two Layer Coding with Error Concealment for Cell Loss Resilience
This paper addresses the issue of cell loss and its consequent effect on video quality in a packet video system, and examines possible compensative measures. In the system's enconder, adaptive spectral separation is used to develop a two-layer coding scheme comprising a high priority layer to carry essential video data and a low priority layer with data to enhance the video image. A two-step er...

متن کاملVery Low Bit-Rate Video Coding Using Wavelet-Based Techniques - Circuits and Systems for Video Technology, IEEE Transactions on
In this paper, we propose a very low bit-rate video coding scheme based on a discrete wavelet transform (DWT), block-matching motion estimation (BME), and overlapped block motion compensation (OBMC). Our approach reveals that the coding process works more efficiently if the quantized wavelet coefficients are preprocessed by a mechanism exploiting the redundancies in the wavelet subband structur...
متن کاملLayered DCT Still Image Compression - Circuits and Systems for Video Technology, IEEE Transactions on
Motivated by Shapiro’s embedded zerotree wavelet (EZW) coding and Taubman and Zakhor’s layered zero coding (LZC), we propose a layered discrete cosine transform (DCT) image compression scheme, which generates an embedded bit stream for DCT coefficients according to their importance. The new method allows progressive image transmission and simplifies the rate-control problem. In addition to thes...
