In this paper, we propose a systematic approach that approximates a target dictionary to reduce the complexity of a matching pursuit encoder. We combine calculation of the inner products and maximum atom extraction of a matching pursuit video coding scheme based on eigendictionary approximation and tree-based vector quantization. The approach makes the codec design and optimization cleaner and more systematic than previous dictionary approximation methods. We vary the quality of approximation to demonstrate the tradeoff between computational complexity and coding efficiency. The experiment results show that our codec achieves speed-up factors of up to 100 with a performance loss of less than 0.1 dB. We use double-stimulus impairment scale scores to evaluate the perceptual quality of our approach for different levels of complexity.

This paper presents a new motion estimation algorithm to improve the performance of the existing searching algorithms at a relatively low computational cost. We try to amend the incorrect and/or inaccurate estimate of motion with higher precision by using Kalman filter. We first obtain a measurement of motion vector of a block by using the existing searching scheme. We then generate the predicted motion vector utilizing the inter-block correlation in both spatial and temporal directions. In general, the motion correlation in spatial direction is different from that in temporal direction. Therefore, if we appropriately utilize the motion correlation in spatial direction and temporal direction, the better performance would be achieved. In this paper, we will propose an adaptive Kalman filter which utilizes a model switching mechanism to select correct motion model. Simulation results show that the proposed technique can efficiently improve the motion estimation performance. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

This article proposes a novel block-based fine granularity scalable (FGS) video coding structure with optimized rate allocation for content-aware streaming, which is more flexible than MPEG-4 FGS specified in the streaming profile of MPEG-4 standard (IS-14496). In MPEG-4 FGS streaming, rate allocation can only be based on frame because MBs' compressed data are interlaced between bit-planes. However in the proposed coding structure, every MB's data are independent;therefore, streaming server can allocate bits according to content's importance, and the quality of those regions of interest is enhanced selectively with more bits allocated. In this way, the streaming server can have a differentiated delivery strategy to support a personalized streaming service considering user's preference. But the uniform rate allocation of proposed block-based FGS coding will result in a greater loss of coding efficiency than that of MPEG-4 FGS within a quite wide bit-rate range. An optimized and fast rate allocation method according to block's rate-distortion is proposed to solve this critical issue. And the coding efficiency is improved successfully, which can be comparable with MPEG-4 FGS coding and is even better up to 0.5 dB, with some sequences at medium bit-rates.

In this paper, we specifically design an efficient compressive sensing video (CSV) coding framework for the CSV system, by considering the distribution characteristics of the CSV frame. To explore the spatial redundancy of the CSV, the CSV frame is first divided into blocks and each block is modeled by a Gaussian mixture model (GMM), and then it is compressed by a product vector quantization. We further explore the temporal redundancy of the CSV by encoding the adjacent CSV frames by the differential pulse code modulation technique and the arithmetic encoding technique. Experiment results show that the proposed CSV coding solution maintains low coding complexity, which is required by the CSV system. Meanwhile, it achieves significant BD-PSNR improvement by about 7.13-11.41 dB (or equivalently 51.23-66.96% bitrate savings) compared with four existing video coding solutions, which also have low computational complexity and suit for the CSV system.

Rate control regulates the output bit rate of a video encoder in order to obtain optimum visual quality within the available network bandwidth and to maintain buffer fullness within a specified tolerance range. Due to the benefits of intra-only encoding, such as less computational cost and less latency, it has been more and more widely used. In this paper, we propose an accurate intra-only rate control scheme for H.264/AVC, which includes a novel complexity measurement and a new rate-distortion (R-D) model. We also propose a linear rate-complexity model which takes the intercept into consideration to reduce the estimation error. The proposed R-D model is integrated by the linear rate-complexity model and an exponential rate-quantization model. Based on theoretical analysis and experimental validation, the proposed scheme has high bits prediction precision, and it can also accurately handle buffer fullness. Compared with JVT-W042, our algorithm achieves higher average PSNR and improves the coding quality up to 0.35 dB. (c) 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

The H.264 advanced video coding (H.264/AVC) standard provides several advanced features such as improved coding efficiency and error robustness for video storage and transmission. In order to improve the coding performance of H.264/AVC, coding control parameters such as group-of-pictures (GOP) sizes should be adaptively adjusted according to different video content variations (VCVs), which can be extracted from temporal deviation between two consecutive frames. The authors present a simple VCV estimation to design adaptive GOP detection (AGD) and scene change detection (SCD) methods by using the obtained motion information, where the motion vectors and the sum of absolute transformed differences as VCV features are effectively used to design the AGD and SCD algorithms, respectively. In order to avoid unnecessary computation, the above VCV features are obtained only in the 4 x 4 inter-frame prediction mode. Simulation results show that the proposed AGD with SCD methods can increase the peak signal-to-noise ratio by 0.62 dB on average over the H.264/AVC operated with a fixed GOP size. Besides, the proposed SCID method can reach a scene change detection rate of 98%.

This paper presents a generic video coding algorithm allowing the content-based manipulation of objects. This manipulation is possible thanks to the definition of a spatiotemporal segmentation of the sequences. The coding strategy relies on a joint optimization in the rate-distortion sense of the partition definition and of the coding techniques to be used within each region. This optimization creates the link between the analysis and synthesis parts of the coder. The analysis defines the time evolution of the partition, as well as the elimination or the appearance of regions that are homogeneous either spatially or in motion. The coding of the texture as well as of the partition relies on region-based motion compensation techniques, The algorithm offers a good compromise between the ability to track and manipulate objects and the coding efficiency.

Nowadays, a well-established video coding method is based on the block-matching algorithm that is in the core of all MPEG and H.26x standards. However, this method involves motion estimation and compensation;thus the computational complexity is high. However, the video coding based on three-dimensional discrete cosine transform (3DDCT) is a potential method, and the scanning order and quantisation of 3D DCT coefficients play a crucial role in coding effect. So, the statistical performances of 3D DCT are studied in this paper, and then adaptive scanning order and quantisation of 3D coefficients are proposed. The theoretical analysis and experiment results show significant improvement in performance over previously reported methods.

In this study, we evaluate fast motion estimation (ME) techniques in the context of a JPEG 2000-based video coding system for surveillance-type videos. The authors have designed a low-complexity algorithm, called block-selective ME, which restricts block matching to certain frames or blocks containing high motion. They compare the performance of our block-selective ME algorithm to a frame-based approach and to a standard fast-motion algorithm (three-step search (TSS)). For surveillance-type videos, the authors show that the block-selective approach achieves the peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) quality of a full ME scheme for;70-80% of the blocks. Moreover, this approach delivers a higher visual image quality compared to TSS, if the computational load for a set number of blocks were fixed. The authors have integrated our block-selective approach into different coders (H.264 and MPEG-2) and show that our approach is an outstanding alternative to fast-ME in low-complexity environments.
