An algorithm for coding video signal based on 3-D wavelet transformation

This paper presents an algorithm for coding video signal based on 3-D wavelet transformation. When the frame order t of a video signal is replaced by order 2, the video signal can be looked as a block in 3-D space. After splitting the block into smaller sub-blocks, imitate the method of 2-D wavelet transformation for images, we can transform the sub-blocks with 3-D wavelet. Most of video signal energy is in the decomposed low-frequency sub-bands. These sub-bands affect the visual quality of the video signal most. Quantizing different sub-bands with different precision and then entropy encoding each sub-band, we can eliminate inter- and intra-frame redundancy of the video signal and compress data. Our simulation experiments show that this algorithm can achieve very good result.
