Abstract
A new hybrid coding method for transmitting videoconferencing images at a bit rate 384 kbits/s is proposed. Considering the characteristics of motion-compensated interframe prediction errors for typical videoconferencing scenes, a filter is introduced to separate pulsive components on which conventional discrete cosine transform (DCT) coding method does not work well. These separated pulsive components are coded by using scalar quantization (SQ). The remainder are DCT coded. For DCT coefficients, an adaptive coding method based on the classification of DCT coefficients is applied in order to improve the coding performance. Since the proposed method employs both DCT coding and SQ of prediction errors, it is named "DCT/SQ coding method." Experimental results show that the DCT/SQ coding method is effective to reduce so-called mosquito effects, and thus it can improve the quality of decoded images.
