Abstract:
An interframe wavelet video coding (IWVC) method by which an average temporal distance (ATD) is minimized is provided. The IWVC method comprises receiving a group-of-frames and decomposing the group-of-frames into difference frames and first average frames between the frames in a first forward temporal direction and a backward temporal direction, wavelet-decomposing the first difference frames and the first average frames, and quantizing coefficients resulting from the wavelet-decomposition to generate a bitstream. The IWVC method provides improved video coding performance.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a hybrid error concealment method. The hybrid error concealment method of the present invention includes a first step of calculating a side match distortion, measured when a motion vector for an arbitrary intra-frame is assumed to be zero, and the intra-frame is temporally reconstructed, a second step of applying temporal error concealment when the side match distortion, calculated at the first step, is less than a predetermined low threshold value, a third step of applying spatial error concealment when the side match distortion, calculated at the first step, is greater than a predetermined high threshold value, and a fourth step of performing error concealment based on {circumflex over (m)}{circumflex over (b)}(x,y)=α·{circumflex over (m)}{circumflex over (b)}t(x,y)+β·{circumflex over (m)}{circumflex over (b)}s(x,y) when the side match distortion, calculated at the first step, exists between the low threshold value and the high threshold value. According to the present invention, the hybrid error concealment method improves PSNR performance compared to a conventional spatial error concealment algorithm used in H.264, and obtains greatly improved performance characteristics, particularly when motion is small and the value of a quantization parameter is relatively low.
Abstract:
An adaptive interframe wavelet video coding method, a computer readable recording medium and system therefor are provided. The interframe wavelet video coding method includes (a) receiving a group-of-frames including a plurality of frames and determining a mode flag according to a predetermined procedure using motion vectors of boundary pixels, (b) temporally decomposing the frames included in the group-of-frames in predetermined directions in accordance with the determined mode flag, and (c) performing spatial transform and quantization on the frames obtained by performing step (b), thereby generating a bitstream. Since an appropriate temporal filtering is performed in accordance with a boundary condition, efficiency of interframe wavelet video coding is increased.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for controlling bitrates in an optimal manner by use of information available for use by the pre-decoder, in wavelet-based scalable video coding art using the pre-decoder. A method for controlling bitrates includes the steps of determining the amount of bits for each coding unit relative to a bitstream generated by encoding an original image so as to minimize distortion of the final image from the original image, and extracting a bitstream having the target amount of bits by truncating a part of the generated bitstream based on the determined amount of bits.

Abstract:
Provided are a method of generating a forward error correction (FEC) packet for scalable video streaming and a server and a client apparatus using the same. The method includes generating a plurality of temporal layers (TLs) of which the number is a second number to provide temporal scalability for one group of pictures (GOP) constituted of a plurality of frames of which the number is a first number, allocating FEC data to the TL, and generating a transmission packet by interleaving at least one of the FEC data and video data constituted of at least one frame for the TL. FEC can be performed without receiving all data by allocating FEC data in units of TLs, and hence a delay can be minimized. In addition, there is an advantage in that robustness to burst errors is provided by applying interleaving between video data and FEC data for the TLs.
