An efficient coding algorithm for depth map images and videos, based on view synthesis distortion estimation, is proposed in this work. We first analyze how a depth error is related to a disparity error and how the disparity vector error affects the energy spectral density of a synthesized color video in the frequency domain. Based on the analysis, we propose an estimation technique to predict the...
In High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), advanced motion vector prediction (AMVP) is adopted to predict current motion vector by utilizing a competition-based scheme from a given candidate set, which include both the spatial and temporal motion vectors. In order to enhance the practicability of the AMVP, a simplified AMVP is proposed. Firstly, by analyzing the importance of the spatial and temporal...
Advanced motion vector prediction (AMVP) is one of the most important inter prediction coding tools adopted in the state-of-the-art HEVC coding standard, which does great effect on the coding efficiency. However, the current AMVP design is highly sequential and thus restricts the throughput both on the encoder and the decoder sides. To facilitate the parallel processing and enlarge the throughput,...
Higher-order motion models were introduced in video coding a couple of decades ago, but have not been widely used due to both difficulty in parameters estimation and their requirement of more side information. Recently, researchers have put them back into consideration. In this paper, the affine motion model is employed in SKIP and DIRECT modes to produce a better prediction. In affine SKIP/DIRECT,...
Intra prediction is an important part of intra-frame coding. A number of approaches have been proposed to improve intra prediction including a general linear prediction approach in which a weighted sum of all available neighbor pixels is used to predict each block pixel. An important part of this approach is the determination of the used weights. One method to determine the weights is to use the least-squares...
In Wyner-Ziv video coding architectures, the available bit budget to each GOP is shared between key frames and Wyner-Ziv frames. In this work, we first propose a model to express the relationship between quantization step size of key and WZ frames based on their motion activity. Then we apply this model to propose an adaptive algorithm adjusting the quantization step size of key and WZ frames to achieve...
The present paper provides transform bases with improved normality and orthogonality properties based on the integer DCT of high-efficiency video coding (HEVC). The proposed transform bases improve the normality and orthogonality properties compared to the HEVC transform bases. Coding and re-encoding experiments were conducted using HEVC test model (HM) version 6.0 and the proposed method. The experiments...
Multi-view video streaming is an emerging video paradigm that enables new interactive services, such as free viewpoint television and immersive teleconferencing. However, it comes with a high bandwidth cost, as the equivalent of many single-view streams has to be transmitted. Network coding (NC) can improve the performance of the network by allowing nodes to combine received packets before retransmission...
