Sprite-based video coding offers higher compression efficiency than conventional block-based hybrid video coders. In sprite coding a sequence is divided into a model of its backgr...
This paper focuses on the mode decision and motion selection problem when H.264/AVC video streams are transcoded in spatial resolution. A fast downsizing transcoding scheme is dev...
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...
Coding of video sequences using hierarchical B pictures in the Joint Scalable Video Model (JSVM) for the scalability amendment of H.264/AVC has the benefit of improved rate distor...

In spite of recent progress in the development of hybrid block-based video codecs, it has been shown that for low-bitrate scenarios there is still coding gain applying object-base...
