Layered Wyner-Ziv Video Coding for Noisy Channels. (August 2004) Qian Xu, B.S., University of Science & Technology of China Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Zixiang Xiong The growing popularity of video sensor networks and video celluar phones has generated the need for low-complexity and power-efficient multimedia systems that can handle multiple video input and output streams. While standard ...

To enable content-based access and manipulation of video content, modern multimedia communications require per-object based access to video data. Two additional building blocks of video transmission systems needs to be defined, which enable access to video objects at the receiver end. These are video segmentation, which decomposes video frame into a set of layers, where each layer includes segm...

Multiple description coding is a promising solution for robust video communication over non-prioritized and unpredictable networks. In this paper, we propose a new multiple description coding scheme for the H.264/AVC video coding standard which enables adaptive and robust video transmission in wireless networks. In the proposed MDC, each description has a different prediction loop and contains ...

With the rapid developments on multimedia and Internet, more and more images and videos are transmitted and viewed in digital form. Video representation and compression are at the foundation of such kind of multimedia applications. Object-based video coding, also known as the representatives of content-based video coding, has been proposed to represent and compress the foreground and the backgr...

Triggered by the challenging prerequisites of wireless capsule endoscopic video technology, this paper presents a novel distributed video coding (DVC) scheme, which employs an original hash-based side-information creation method at the decoder. In contrast to existing DVC schemes, the proposed codec generates high quality side-information at the decoder, even under the strenuous motion conditio...
