DCT Domain Transcoding of H.264/AVC Video into MPEG-2 Video

چکیده
As the number of different video compression standards increase, there is a growing need for conversion between video formats coded in different standards. H.264/AVC is a newly emerging video coding standard which achieves better video quality at reduced bit rate than other standards. The standalone media players that are available in the market do not support H.264 video playback. In this paper, we present novel techniques that can achieve conversion of pre-coded video in H.264/AVC standard to MPEG-2 standard directly in the compressed domain. Experimental results show that the proposed approach can produce transcoded video with quality comparable to the pixel-domain approach at significantly reduced cost.

Conversion Scheme for DCT-Domain Transcoding of MPEG-2 to H.264/AVC
The 4×4 approximate discrete cosine transform (DCT) of H.264/AVC [1] makes it difficult to transcode the pre-coded video contents with the previous video coding standards to H.264/AVC in DCT domain. This is due to the difference between 8×8 DCT used previous standards and 4×4 DCT in H.264/AVC. In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm that converts the quantized 8×8 DCT block of MPEG-2 i...
متن کاملComplexity Reduction Tools for MPEG-2 to H.264 Video Transcoding
The wide deployment of MPEG-2 video for digital video applications today and the expected use of the recently standardized H.264 video create a strong need for video transcoding between these formats. One of the key problems in video transcoding is complexity reduction. In this paper we present tools to enable low complexity transcoding of MPEG-2 video to the H.264 format. The proposed transcod...
متن کاملHeterogeneous Transcoding: MPEG-2 to H.264/AVC
The wide deployment of MPEG-2 video and the extra benefits of the features introduced by the H.264/AVC standard, create a strong need for video transcoding between these standards. In this paper the typical problems for video transcoding between MPEG-2 and H.264/AVC are discussed. One of the most basic problems is the difference between the 8x8 Discrete Cosine Transform as used by MPEG-2, and t...
متن کاملDCT Block Conversion for H.264/AVC Video Transcoding
In H.264/AVC [1], integer transforms are applied instead of the 8×8 discrete cosine transform (DCT) of previous standards to avoid inverse transform mismatch problems. However, these transforms make it difficult to transcode the precoded video contents with the earlier video coding standards into H.264/AVC in DCT-domain, thus causing cascaded re-encoding in the pixel-domain. There are strong re...
متن کاملFIMDA: A Fast Intra-frame Mode Decision Algorithm for MPEG-2/H.264 Transcoding
The H.264 video compression standard provides tools for coding improvements of at least 2 dB, in terms of PSNR, and at least 50% in bit rate savings as compared with MPEG-2 video compression standard. It is expected that the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC will take over the digital video market, replacing the use of MPEG-2 in most digital video applications. The complete migration to the new video-coding alg...
