LAR Video : Lossless Video Coding with Semantic Scalability

Baptized “LAR Video”, method proposed in this paper describes a new lossless video coding algorithm with advanced semantic scalability. Motion estimation and compensation steps are first achieved to produce the well known displaced frame difference (DFD). The basic idea is to apply on this residual error a pyramidal decomposition based on an efficient scalable image compression technique, named LAR-APP. Resulting from a progressive data broadcasting, image-sequence can be scalably rebuilt in the decoder at different spatial resolution level. The given experimental results show that the proposed solution, in addition to the scalability, achieves good compression performances.
