MPEG-4 objektbasierte Videocodierung (MPEG-4 Object-Based Video Coding)

Zusammenfassung Neben einer hohen Kompressionseffizienz und einer guten Fehlerrobustheit stellt MPEG-4 Video als einziger internationaler Standard objektbasierte Funktionalitäten für Anwendungen zur Verfügung. In diesem Beitrag werden die Ziele und Techniken der MPEG-4 objektbasierten Kodierung beschrieben. Summary MPEG-4 is the first international standard that supports applications with objec...

MPEG-4 natural audio coding

MPEG-4 audio represents a new kind of audio coding standard. Unlike its predecessors, MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 high-quality audio coding, and unlike the speech coding standards which have been completed by the ITU-T, it describes not a single or small set of highly e$cient compression schemes but a complete toolbox to do everything from low bit-rate speech coding to high-quality audio coding or music ...

MPEG-4 Audio Lossless Coding

Lossless coding will become the latest extension of the MPEG-4 audio standard. The lossless audio codec of the Technical University of Berlin was chosen as reference model for MPEG-4 Audio Lossless Coding (ALS). The MPEG-4 ALS encoder is based on linear prediction, which enables high compression even with moderate complexity, while the corresponding decoder is straightforward. The paper describ...

A Fast Motion Estimation Algorithm for MPEG-4 Shape Coding

VLSI architecture design of MPEG-4 shape coding

This paper presents an efficient VLSI architecture design of MPEG-4 shape coding, which is the key technology for supporting the content-based functionality of the MPEG-4 Video standard. The real-time constraint of MPEG-4 shape coding leads to a heavy computational bottleneck on today’s computer architectures. To overcome this problem, design analysis and optimization of MPEG-4 shape coding are...
