In January 1991, an advanced development project called Jvideo was jointly initiated by engineering and research organizations across Digital. Prior to this endeavor, these organizations had proposed and carried out several disjoint research projects pertaining to video compression and video rendering. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Joint Photographic Experts Group (JP...

The H.264/AVC standard, popular in commercial video recording and distribution, has also been widely adopted for high-definition video compression in Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance and for Flight Test applications. H.264/AVC is the most modern and bandwidth-efficient compression algorithm specified for video recording in the Digital Recording IRIG Standard 106-11, Chapter 10. Thi...

This tutorial gives a survey of actual used techniques for multicast streaming video. We first discuss important issues in video streaming namely video compression techniques and video compression standards. We then present the challenges in multicast video streaming and we give a detailed description of recent proposals for multicast video streaming. We classify these solutions into four appro...

Many advanced video applications require manipulations of compressed video signals. Popular video manipulation functions include overlap (opaque or semi-transparent), translation, scaling, linear filtering, rotation, and pixel multiplication. In this paper, we propose algorithms to manipulate compressed video in the compressed domain. Specifically, we focus on compression algorithms using the D...

This paper presents a simple, fast coding technique for lossless compression of mosaic video data. The design of a video codec needs to strike a balance between the compression performance and the codec throughput. Aiming to make the encoding throughput high enough for real-time lossless video compression, we propose a hybrid scheme of inter and intraframe coding. Interframe predictive coding i...

In practical video storage and distribution systems, video sequences are stored and transmitted in a compressed format. During compression, the video frame is transformed from the spatial domain into frequency domain. Therefore, video content authentication methods need to be robust to lossy compression. This paper proposes a novel semi-fragile watermarking video content authentication based on...

Video compression with improved visual quality and with temporal redundancy reduction is a challenging task. Video coding standards such as H.261/3, MPEG-1/2/4 and H.264/AVC use motion estimation (ME) scheme to remove temporal redundancy which significantly improves the coding efficiency. However, the peak signal-to-noise ratio is less. A new video coding method is proposed based on Singular Va...

MPEG-4 is designed for multimedia and web compression, using object-based compression. Abstract This paper contains an analysis of the four most common video compression algorithms and their errorresilience capabilities when applied to wireless video compression. The algorithms examined are: MPEG-2, H.263, MJPEG-2000, and MPEG-4. Each of these compression methods has specific strengths and capa...

After the development of the next generation video coding standard, referred to as high efficiency video coding (HEVC), the joint collaborative team of the ITU-T video coding experts group and the ISO/IEC moving picture experts group has now also standardized a lossless extension of such a standard. HEVC was originally designed for lossy video compression, thus, not ideal for lossless video com...
