چکیده

Video transmission over variable-bandwidth networks requires instantaneous bit-rate adaptation at the server site to provide an acceptable decoding quality. For this purpose, recent developments in video coding aim at providing a fully embedded bit-stream with seamless adaptation capabilities in bit-rate, frame-rate and resolution. A new promising technology in this context is wavelet-based video coding. Wavelets have already demonstrated their potential for quality and resolution scalability in still-image coding. This led to the investigation of various schemes for the compression of video, exploiting similar principles to generate embedded bit-streams. In this paper we present scalable wavelet-based video-coding technology with competitive rate-distortion behavior compared to standardized non-scalable technology.

Motion-compensated DCT temporal filters for efficient spatio-temporal scalable video coding

Although most of the proposals for implementing motion-compensated temporal filtering (MCTF) schemes are based on the wavelet transform, in this paper, we propose an MCTF framework based on the discrete cosine transform (DCT). Using DCT decimation and interpolation, several temporal decomposition structures named motion-compensated DCT temporal filters (MCDCT-TF) are introduced. These structure...

Thèse Présentée pour obtenir le grade de docteur de l’École Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications Spécialité: Signal et Images

The recent progress in wavelet-based video coding led to the emergence of a new generation of scalable video schemes, whose performance is comparable to that of the best hybrid codecs. The t+2D subband coding methods exploit the temporal interframe redundancy by applying an open-loop temporal wavelet transform over the frames of a video sequence. The temporally-filtered subband frames are furth...

Barbell Lifting Wavelet Transform for Highly Scalable Video Coding

This paper proposes a generic lifting technology (Barbell Lifting), where each predicting or updating signal is generated with a Barbell function instead of always a sample from single direction or bi-direction, to incorporate various motion alignment methods into temporal wavelet transform. The proposed lifting technology embraces fractional pixel motion alignment, variable block size motion a...

Unbalanced multiple description wavelet coding for scalable video transmission

Scalable video coding (SVC) and multiple description coding (MDC) are the two different adaptation schemes for video transmission over heterogenous and best-effort networks such as the Internet. We propose a new approach to encode video for unreliable networks with rate adaptation capability. Our proposed method groups 3D discrete wavelet transform coefficients in different descriptions and app...

Studies on Spatial Scalable Frameworks for Motion Aligned 3D Wavelet Video Coding

This paper makes a comparative study on the various spatial scalable coding frameworks. The frameworks with multiple image-domain motion aligned temporal filtering at various spatial resolutions, named as multi-T+2D, are mainly investigated. First we investigate a multi-T+2D scheme based on redundant frame representation. The cross spatial layer redundancy and prediction methods are discussed. ...
