Abstract
An efficient bit rate control method for the transform domain distributed video coding (DVC) system is proposed. In order to decide quantization levels of each transform coefficient in the proposed distributed video decoder, a new bitplanewise zigzag scanning method is used. The bit rate can be controlled precisely in the proposed system, since the number of available bit rates is equal to the number of bitplanes. On the other hand, the bit rate is controlled by changing fixed quantization tables in conventional methods. In the proposed DVC system, Wyner-Ziv frames can be efficiently reconstructed by refining the side information with transmitted parity bits. If there is no transmitted parity bit, the side information is not refined and it is considered to be a decoded Wyner-Ziv frame. The side information is refined more precisely, as the amount of transmitted parity bits increases. The proposed DVC system provides superior coding performance with a precise bit rate control compared to conventional methods.
Highlights
Efficient compression of video data is essential for storage and communication, since the amount of video data is very large
The proposed decoding method provides superior performance to conventional methods, especially at low bit rates, since the side information can be refined with a small number of parity bits
At low bit rates, the coding performance of the proposed distributed video coding (DVC) system is significantly better than that of the conventional DVC system, since the side information can be refined with a small number of parity bits in the proposed DVC system
Summary
Efficient compression of video data is essential for storage and communication, since the amount of video data is very large. Wyner-Ziv frames in conventional distributed video decoders are reconstructed in the dequantization process, using the side information and transmitted parity bits. A new bitplanewise zigzag scanning method to decide quantization levels of each transform coefficient is proposed to maximize the rate distortion performance.
