Abstract
Animation video is becoming very popular with the availability of low cost computing resources. The cell animation is a popular method, used for producing animation video. In order to efficiently encode these videos, conventional video codecs, such as AutoDesk Animation Pro FLC, Intel Indeo 5, and MPEG-4 can be used to achieve high compression. However, when cell animation videos are compressed at very low bit rate by these traditional codecs, objectionable artifacts, e.g., false color, blurred contours, and blocking artifact, are severely occurred. In this paper, we propose an efficient compression method for cell animation images. The proposed method employs hybrid coding scheme which includes intraframe and interframe coding modes. The intraframe mode consists of color quantization, adaptive differential pulse code modulation, forward classification, and Golomb-Rice coding. The interframe coding consists of block-based techniques and exploits the characteristics of motion. Simulation results show that the proposed method provides superior performance over AutoDesk Animation Pro FLC, MPEG-1, Intel Indeo 5, and MPEG-4 standards.
