Reduced Frame Quantization in Video Coding
We vary the quantization parameter in H.264 video encoding by increasing it by a well-chosen offset in every other frame, which we call reduced frames. As the motion compensation ...

Extrapolating Side Information for Low-Delay Pixel-Domain Distributed Video Coding
Distributed Video Coding (DVC) is a new video coding approach based on the Wyner-Ziv theorem. Unlike most of the existing video codecs, each frame is encoded separately (either as...

Coding with Temporal Layers or Multiple Descriptions for Lossy Video Transmission
In this paper, we compare temporal layered coding (TLC), as well as single-state coding (SSC), to multi-state video coding (MSVC) in the context of lossy video communications. MSV...

Efficient Digital Pre-filtering for Least-Squares Linear Approximation
In this paper we propose a very simple FIR pre-filter based method for near optimal least-squares linear approximation of discrete time signals. A digital pre-processing filter,...
