Intra-prediction is amethod for coding standalone frames in video coding. Until now, this hasmainly been done using linear formulae. Using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN)may improve the prediction accuracy, leading to improved coding efficiency. In this degree project, Fully Connected Networks (FCN) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) were used for intra-prediction. Experiments were done...

HEVC achieves a better coding efficiency relative to prior standards, but also involves dramatically increased complexity. The complexity increase for intra prediction is especially intensive due to a highly flexible quad-tree coding structure and a large number of prediction modes. The encoder employs rate-distortion optimization (RDO) to select the optimal coding mode. And RDO takes a great p...

Network coding is a technique where relay nodes mix packets using mathematical operations, which reduces the number of transmitted packets. Network coding was first proposed for wired networks to solve the bottleneck problem and to increase the throughput. However, the broadcast nature of wireless networks and the diversity of the links make network coding more attractive in wireless networks. ...
