F41: Distributed Video Coding of Periodic Video Sequences

Laraba,M., Benierbah,S., Khamadja,M.

Abstract:
Distributed Video Coding (DVC) is a very active research field that aims to provide simple encoders, needed by many low resources applications. Unfortunately, all the proposed implementations of this type of coding claim that there is no way to realize the system as described by the DVC theory. It can only be combined with conventional coding; with unconvincing results. In this paper, we will show that there is at least one situation where DVC can be applied directly and efficiently. Thus, we adapt and apply the DVC concept to periodic video sequences (PVS). For these sequences, we will propose a new way to create side information (SI) that eliminates the need for intra coded images and motion estimation, which makes this technique very simple and yet very effective. The results of simulations coding show a very good performance and, in some cases, we can even outperform H.264 Inter coding.
