Low complexity shape-adaptive DCT for coding of arbitrarily shaped image segments

A low complexity shape-adaptive DCT transform algorithm for coding pels in arbitrarily shaped image segments is presented. The proposed algorithm is compared to the well established generalized shape-adaptive transform method introduced by Gilge et al. in terms of transform efficiency and computational complexity. Results obtained under both theoretical and experimental conditions show that the new algorithm achieves a transform efficiency close to that of the Gilge method with considerably reduced computational complexity. The proposed shape-adaptive DCT algorithm was implemented into a standard MPEG-1 coder to provide object or segment based coding of images and video with additional content-based functionality. The extended MPEG-1 object based coding scheme can handle generic input sequences and can readily provide MPEG-1 backward compatibility if no contour data is transmitted for a given video sequence. Results for INTRA coding of images indicate that the algorithm allows efficient coding over a wide range of coding parameters — thus providing means for generic coding of segmented video between very high and very low bit rates. It is further shown that some of the content-based based functionalities currently discussed in MPEG-4 can be provided efficiently using the proposed object based coding scheme.

Hybrid model-and-object-based real-time conversational video coding

Bandwidth-constrained real-time conversational video communications (such as mobile teleconferencing) require video codecs with good rate-distortion characteristics at low bit-rates and modest computational complexity. While target-specific object-based and model-based coding methods have been proposed for low bit-rate conversational video coding, difficulties in generalization and high computational complexity hinder their practical utilization. In this paper, we propose a low bit-rate coding method for typical conversational video by combining two-dimensional model-based coding of face regions and object-based coding of non-face head-shoulder regions, achieving high-quality face reconstruction and low overall bit-rate with real-time encoding capability. Experiments on typical conversational test sequences confirm that, compared to other conversational video codecs, our model-and-object-based coding method offers superior rate-distortion performance at low bit-rates.

Fast multiresolution motion estimation algorithms for wavelet-based scalable video coding

Motion estimation and compensation in wavelet domain have received much attention recently. To overcome the inefficiency of motion estimation in critically sampled wavelet domain, the low-band-shift (LBS) method and the complete-to-overcomplete discrete wavelet transform (CODWT) method are proposed for motion estimation in shift-invariant wavelet domain. However, a major disadvantage of these methods is the computational complexity. Although the CODWT method has reduced the computational complexity by skipping the inverse wavelet transform and making the direct link between the critically sampled subbands and the shift-invariant subbands, the full search algorithm (FSA) increases it. In this paper, we proposed two fast multiresolution motion estimation algorithms in shift-invariant wavelet domain: one is the wavelet matching error characteristic based partial distortion search (WMEC-PDS) algorithm, which improves computational efficiency of conventional partial distortion search algorithms while keeping the same estimate accuracy as the FSA; another is the anisotropic double cross search (ADCS) algorithm using multiresolution-spatio-temporal context, which provides a significantly computational load reduction while only introducing negligible distortion compared with the FSA. Due to the multiresolution nature, both the proposed approaches can be applied to wavelet-based scalable video coding. Experimental results show the superiority of the proposed fast motion estimation algorithms against other fast algorithms in terms of speed-up and quality.

Efficient Inter Prediction Mode Decision Method for Fast Motion Estimation in High Efficiency Video Coding

High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is the most recent video coding standard to achieve a higher coding performance than the previous H.264/AVC. In order to accomplish this improved coding performance, HEVC adopted several advanced coding tools; however, these cause heavy computational complexity. Similar to previous video coding standards, motion estimation (ME) of HEVC requires the most computational complexity; this is because ME is conducted for three inter prediction modes — namely, uniprediction in list 0, uniprediction in list 1, and biprediction. In this paper, we propose an efficient inter prediction mode (EIPM) decision method to reduce the complexity of ME. The proposed EIPM method computes the priority of all inter prediction modes and performs ME only on a selected inter prediction mode. Experimental results show that the proposed method reduces computational complexity arising from ME by up to 51.76% and achieves near similar coding performance compared to HEVC test model version 10.1.

Early Coding Unit–Splitting Termination Algorithm for High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC)

A new‐generation video coding standard, named High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), has recently been developed by JCT‐VC. This new standard provides a significant improvement in picture quality, especially for high‐resolution videos. However, one the most important challenges in HEVC is time complexity. A quadtree‐based structure is created for the encoding and decoding processes and the rate‐distortion (RD) cost is calculated for all possible dimensions of coding units in the quadtree. This provides a high encoding quality, but also causes computational complexity. We focus on a reduction scheme of the computational complexity and propose a new approach that can terminate the quadtree‐based structure early, based on the RD costs of the parent and current levels. Our proposed algorithm is compared with HEVC Test Model version 10.0 software and a previously proposed algorithm. Experimental results show that our algorithm provides a significant time reduction for encoding, with only a small loss in video quality.
