H.264 is the current state-of-the-art monoscopic video codec providing almost twice the coding efficiency with the same quality comparing the previous codecs. With the increasing interest in 3D TV, multi-view video sequences that are provided by multiple cameras capturing the three dimensional objects and/or scene are more widely used. Compressing multi-view sequences independently with H.264 (simulcast) is not efficient since the redundancy between the closer cameras is not exploited. In order to reduce these redundancies, we propose a Multi-View Video Codec based on H.264 using disparity estimation/compensation as well as motion estimation/compensation. In order to effectively search for disparity/motion without increasing computational complexity, we modified the buffering structure of H.264 and implemented several referencing modes. Our results show that for closely located cameras, our codec outperforms simulcast H.264 coding. For sparsely located cameras, our method can still improve coding gain depending on the video characteristics.

A complexity-utility framework for optimizing quality of experience for visual content in mobile devices Önür, Özgür Deniz; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012) Subjective video quality and video decoding complexity are jointly optimized in order to determine the video encoding parameters that will result in the best Quality of Experience (QoE) for an end user watching a video clip on a mobile device. Subjective video quality is estimated by an objective criteria, video quality metric (VQM), and a method for predicting the video quality of a test sequence from the available training sequences with similar content characteristics is presented. Standardized spatial i...
A knapsack model for bandwidth management of prerecorded multiple MPEG video sources Erten, YM; Gullu, R; Süral, Haldun (2005-01-01) In this article we provide a framework for controlling the bit rate of multiple prerecorded MPEG video sequences by choosing the quantization factors assigned to individual sources in a way that the total mean square error at the output of the encoder is minimized. We propose and test a knapsack model for the selection of the quantization factors. Our computations based on a set of relatively diverse video sequences reveal that the proposed model achieves a high utilization of the available bandwidth and ac...
Implementation of a distributed video codec Işık, Cem Vedat; Akar, Gözde; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008) Current interframe video compression standards such as the MPEG4 and H.264, require a high-complexity encoder for predictive coding to exploit the similarities among successive video frames. This requirement is acceptable for cases where the video sequence to be transmitted is encoded once and decoded many times. However, some emerging applications such as video-based sensor networks, power-aware surveillance and mobile video communication systems require computational complexity to be shifted from encoder ...
Intra prediction with 3-tap filters for lossless and lossy video coding Ranjbar Alvar, Saeed; Kamışlı, Fatih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2016) Video coders are primarily designed for lossy compression. The basic steps in modern lossy video compression are block-based spatial or temporal prediction, transformation of the prediction error block, quantization of the transform coefficients and entropy coding of the quantized coefficients together with other side information. In some cases, this lossy coding architecture may not be efficient for compression. For example, when lossless video compression is desirable, the transform and quantization steps...
Lossless Image and Intra-Frame Compression With Integer-to-Integer DST Kamışlı, Fatih (2019-02-01) Video coding standards are primarily designed for efficient lossy compression, but it is also desirable to support efficient lossless compression within video coding standards using small modifications to the lossy coding architecture. A simple approach is to skip transform and quantization, and simply entropy code the prediction residual. However, this approach is inefficient at compression. A more efficient and popular approach is to skip transform and quantization but also process the residual block in s...
