M7.9 THREE DIMENSIONAL SUB-BAND CODING OF VIDEO
Martin Vetterli · 1988
A novel coding scheme has been developed which is based on multi-dimensional sub-band coding. In our method the digital video signal is filtered and sub-sampled in all three dimensions (temporally, horizontally and vertically) to yield the sub-bands, from which the input signal can be losslessly reconstructed in the absence of coding loss. The subbands can be more efficiently coded than the input signal in terms of compression and quality, because the restricted information in rach band allows well-tailored encoding. The computational complexity of this coding scheme compares favorably to DCT with interframe prediction and inter/intra frame DPCM. The scheme has an architectural structure suitable for parallel implementation, and it yields high coinpression with sustained good quality.
