Iterative Wyner-Ziv decoding for unidirectional distributed video coding

Unidirectional distributed video coding (DVC) is one of the untouched areas of DVC, which has to be necessarily employed when the feedback channel is not available. Thus, to serve that purpose, proposed is a unidirectional distributed video coding using a parallel Wyner-Ziv architecture. Simulation results show that up to 6.5 dB PSNR gain can be obtained with the proposed codec over the conventional DVC codec with no feedback channel at the same bit rate and the computational cost

Multiple side information streams for distributed video coding

An improved Wyner-Ziv decoder for distributed video coding (DVC) is proposed, which uses multiple side information streams obtained by using multiple reference frames. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve a significant PSNR gain of up to 2.4 dB over the best available DVC codec at the same bit rate.

4-PSK TTCM for Wyner-Ziv frame coding in DVC

This paper proposes a novel approach for the implementation of Distributed Video coding (DVC) using 4-PSK turbo trellis coded modulation (TTCM). We have adapted the TTCM concept for source coding by generating parity at the encoder and transferring the symbol mapping to the decoder. The parity bits are sent to the decoder with puncturing as in a turbo based DVC codecs and combined with side information to form the symbols used in the TTCM decoder. The side information is generated by basic frame interpolation. The proposed codec was tested with different test video sequences and the results obtained show up to 6dB improvement in PSNR with less memory for the same bit rate when compared with the turbo coding based DVC codecs.
