Distributed Video Coding (DVC) is a video coding archetype that explores the source statistics at the decoder and hence reducing the encoder complexity. The Rate-Distortion (RD) performance of DVC strongly depends on the quality of the side information (SI) generation. So, efficient techniques to generate reliable SI are therefore essential to obtain a better quality of decoded video. In this paper,...
Recently, adaptive in-loop filter (ALF) for image/video coding has attracted increasing attention by its proven capability in improving coding performance. ALF is aiming to minimize the mean square error between original samples and decoded samples by using Wiener-based adaptive filter. Samples in a picture are classified into multiple categories and the samples in each category are then filtered...
Many popular video coding standards such as VPx, H.26x achieve video compression by using spatial and temporal dependencies in the source video signal. This makes the encoded bitstream vulnerable to errors during transmission. In this paper, we investigate an error resilient video coding for the VPx bitstreams using error resilience packets. An error resilient packet consists of encoded keyframe contents...
In order to compress omnidirectional video clips, a projection onto a two-dimensional image plane is necessary. The most commonly used projection format is the equirectangular panoramic projection, which results into a significant amount of redundant samples in the polar areas. The redundant samples incur extra bitrate and increase the encoding/decoding time. In this paper, we study regional down-sampling...
To provide more powerful video enabled applications, e.g. in video surveillance environments, it is increasingly more critical not only to have access to the decoded video but also to, e.g. efficiently search for similar videos. In this context, this paper proposes a feature-based video coding solution adopting a hybrid approach where both pixels and local visual features are exploited for coding...
Transform coding tools in video coding have traditionally relied on the Discrete Cosine Transform Type II (DCT-II) to map residual signals to a new domain where quantization and entropy coding tools achieve a better coding efficiency than in the spatial domain. However, the DCT-II is not sufficient to model all different types of residual signals efficiently, especially in the intra-predicted blocks...
This paper proposes a decoder-side intra mode derivation algorithm for block-based video coding. Instead of explicitly coding intra mode, the algorithm derives intra mode at both encoder and decoder using a template-based method. Based on rate-distortion optimization, the encoder locally determines whether intra mode derivation or intra mode explicit coding is used. Further, as no intra mode is coded,...
Today, several predictive video coding standards including MPEG2, MPEG4, H.264, VC1, DivX, VP6 and VP8 do exists. By design, the decoder is typically 10× lower complex than encoder. There are certain classes of emerging applications and services including mobile video, wireless camera, wireless low power surveillance, mobile document scanner and disposable video cameras, which demands lower complexity...
Scalable video coding provides an efficient adaptation solution for delivering video to consumer devices with a great variety of characteristics. This technique encodes video using a base layer and several enhancement layers with different qualities. In order to reduce the total bit rate of the video stream, inter layer prediction (ILP) is enabled. However, the introduction of ILP results in a high...
As a 3D video extension of Audio Video Coding Standard (AVS), 3D-AVS is being developed to improve the coding efficiency of multi-view video. Since multi-view video is composed of projections of the same scenery from different viewpoints at the same time instant, it contains a large amount of inter-view redundancies. To exploit the inter-view correlation, this paper presents a method to derive the...
The improved compression efficiency achieved by the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard has the counter-effect of decreasing error resilience in transmission over error-prone channels. To increase the error resilience of HEVC streams, this paper proposes a checkerboard reference picture selection method in order to reduce the prediction mismatch at the decoder in case of frame losses. The...
With video surveillance systems becoming ubiquitous nowadays, protecting people's privacy raises an increasingly serious concern. Video streaming with privacy protection requires modifying parts of the video content. This modification should provide the possibility of unprotected access to the video if the user is authenticated through a private key. However, any modification in the content of a video...

Video object recognition is an importance topic in both defense and civilian applications. However, object recognition guarantee is not considered in current video coding standard H.264. For this issue, experiments based on H.264/AVC codec are designed to measure the affection of coding parameters on recognition performance. The quantitative functions of recognition performance with coding rate and...
By combining the advantages of distributed video coding (DVC) and compressive sensing (CS), distributed compressive video sensing (DCVS) poses itself as a very promising low-complexity video coding framework for distributed applications. In order to improve the rate-distortion performance of DCVS, much research efforts have been focused on exploring the best ways to utilize the spatial/temporal redundancy...
Encoded video bitstream is subjected to quality degradation when transmitted over unreliable network. Therefore, a novel feedback-based intra refresh method for robust video coding is proposed in this paper, which takes error concealment's effect, actual loss condition, and the structure of feedback into account. In the decoder, the error correction priority is calculated to reflect the error degree...
The present day video coding standards such as MPEG and H.264 are mainly used for broadcast applications, where the encoder is more complex than the decoder. However, for applications such as low power surveillance networks and wireless video cameras, where there is a dearth of hardware at the encoder, the encoder needs to be simpler, but the decoder can be complex. Distributed Video Coding (DVC)...
The underwater study and communication have gained attention due to the military, commercial and biological purpose. The video monitoring of the underwater activity is carried out by video processing node (VPN) which form a sensor network. The VPN must be power efficient and less complex. The video coding standard such as MPEG and H.26X have a computationally more complex encoder for their working...
Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) has gained wide acceptance due to its ability of bitrate adaptation in diverse network conditions. In the meanwhile, it is asserted that the Scalable Extension (SHVC) of High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) can bring more efficient storage and caching compared with traditional single-layer video coding. However, using of SHVC in DASH raises the downstream...
In current 3D video coding solutions, such as the 3D-HEVC standard, depth data is instrumental to have a continuum of views synthesized at the decoder based on a limited set of coded views. In order view synthesis may be performed at the decoder, depth data is currently directly acquired or estimated at the encoder based on very few neighboring views and transmitted to the decoder after appropriate...
