Abstract—H.264/AVC is the latest video coding standard. It significantly outperforms the previous video coding standards, but the extraordinary huge computation complexity and m...
Motion estimation (ME) plays an important role in video compression. Block-based ME has been adopted in most video compression standards due to its efficiency. In this paper, we p...
—Extracting high-quality dynamic foreground layers from a video sequence is a challenging problem due to the coupling of color, motion, and occlusion. Many approaches assume that...
Since variable block-size motion compensation (MC) and rate-distortion optimization (RDO) techniques are adopted in H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, modes and motion vectors (MVs) in input stream...
Abstract Multimedia applications operating in today's Internet have to employ some form of error resilience to cope with losses. For interactive applications with strict delay...
