On fast microscopic browsing of MPEG-compressed video

MPEG has been established as a compression standard for efficient storage and transmission of digital video. However, users are limited to VCR-like (and tedious) functionalities when viewing MPEG video. The usefulness of MPEG video is presently limited by the lack of tools available for fast browsing, manipulation and processing of MPEG video. In this paper, we first address the problem of rapid access to individual shots and frames in MPEG video. We build upon the compressed-video-processing framework proposed in [1, 8], and propose new and fast algorithms based on an adaptive mixture of approximation techniques for extracting spatially reduced image sequence of uniform quality from MPEG video across different frame types and also under different motion activities in the scenes. The algorithms execute faster than real time on a Pentium personal computer. We demonstrate how the reduced images facilitate fast and convenient shot- and frame-level video browsing and access, shot-level editing and annotation, without the need for frequent decompression of MPEG video. We further propose methods for reducing the auxiliary data size associated with the reduced images through exploitation of spatial and temporal redundancy. We also address how the reduced images lead to computationally efficient algorithms for video analysis based on intra- and inter-shot processing for video database and browsing applications. The algorithms, tools for browsing and techniques for video processing presented in this paper have been used by many in IBM Research on more than 30 h of MPEG-1 video for video browsing and analysis.     

Real-time software-based video coder for multimedia communication systems

A novel software-based video compression algorithm, the Popular Video Coder (PVC), is presented in this paper, and a video phone system, the Popular Phone, is also implemented based on the PVC. The PVC simplifies the traditional video coder by removing the transform and the motion estimation parts and modifies the quantizer and entropy coder. Two novel coding algorithms, the adaptive quantizer and the modified windowed Huffman-like coder, are used in the PVC to encode the video data with a quality picture at a high compression ratio. The video quality of the proposed coder is as good as that of the MPEG coder when the input is a low-resolution and slow-motion video, and the computational complexity of the PVC is much lower than that of the Motion Picture Expert Group (MPEG). Since no compression hardware is needed for the PVC to encode and decode video data, the cost and complexity of developing multimedia applications, such as video phone and multimedia e-mail systems, can be greatly reduced. Furthermore, some networking issues, such as error control and flow control, are discussed in connection with applying the PVC to implement the Popular Phone.     

Enhancing aggregate QoS for video streaming

The IETF's Differentiated Services architecture is designed to provide different types or levels of service for Internet traffic. One of its key features is that traffic flows are aggregated so that routers in the core network only need to distinguish a relatively small number of aggregate flows, even if those flows consist of hundreds or thousands of individual flows. However, network-level QoS differentiation may not satisfy the requirements of many QoS-sensitive applications such as live video streaming, where end-to-end delay and reliability must be guaranteed.

This paper investigates application-level service differentiation for MPEG video streaming in a Diff-Serv-aware MPLS network infrastructure, along with routing support at the network layer. Based on the fact that MPEG video has become one of the most popular formats for Internet (wired and wireless) users, our approach enhances aggregate QoS for video streaming by employing existing application-level knowledge of the MPEG video structure; therefore it requires neither a new video compression algorithm nor additional bandwidth. Several MPEG video dispersion models are proposed and analyzed. Simulation results show that two such strategies are superior to the other tested. In addition, a new routing scheme is proposed to support searching the ‘best’ paths for efficient multi-path video streaming. Through extensive simulations, we demonstrate that our approaches improve the aggregate QoS of MPEG video streams, as well as overall network efficiency.

Experiments on block-matching techniques for video coding

Video compression is becoming increasingly important with the advent of compression standards and broadband networks. Recently, several block-based motion-estimation algorithms to exploit the temporal redundancies in a video sequence have been reported in the literature. Some of these algorithms tend to be either computationally expensive or to converge to a local optimum. In this paper, we present results for various block-matching techniques and propose a low-complexity block-matching motion-estimation algorithm that is useful for hybrid video coding schemes, including MPEG video. This algorithm consists of a layered structure search, and, unlike other fast block-matching methods, it does not converge to a local optimum. The proposed method employs a novel matching criterion, namely, the modified pixeldifference classification (MPDC), that offers simplicity with other potential advantages.
