Distributed source coding of video with non-stationary side-information

In distributed video coding, the complexity of the video encoder is reduced at the cost of a more complex video decoder. Using the principles of Slepian andWolf, video compression is then carried out using channel coding principles, under the assumption that the video decoder can temporally predict side-information that is correlated with the...

Fair rate allocation of scalable multiple description video for many clients

Peer-to-peer networks (P2P) form a distributed communication infrastructure that is particularly well matched to video streaming using multiple description coding. We form M descriptions using MDC-FEC building on a scalable version of the “Dirac” video coder. The M descriptions are streamed via M different application layer multicast (ALM) trees...

Error Resilient Video Compression Using Behavior Models

Wireless and Internet video applications are inherently subjected to bit errors and packet errors, respectively. This is especially so if constraints on the end-to-end compression and transmission latencies are imposed. Therefore, it is necessary to develop methods to optimize the video compression parameters and the rate allocation of these...
