In this paper we address the problem of providing conditional access to video sequences, namely, to generate a low-quality video to be used as preview, which can be decoded at ful...
In dual-frame video coding, one long-term reference (LTR) and one short-term reference (STR) frames are used for motion estimation and compensation. In previous work, it was shown...
The emerging H.264 advanced video coding (H.264/AVC) standard achieves significant improvement in coding efficiency compared with previous standards such as MPEG-2 and H.263. On...
For improvement of coding efficiency, the H.264 video coding standard uses new coding tools, such as variable block size, quarter-pixel-accuracy motion estimation, multiple refere...
The major complexity source in H.264 is the rate distortion (R-D) optimization. This work proposes a method to reduce the complexity of R-D analysis, paying a little video degrada...
