Abstract

Distributed Video Coding is a new coding technique which has been evolving very fast recently. However the rate distortion performances of current solutions are below the expectations especially for high motion sequences even at a group of picture (GOP) size of 2. Main reason of this problem is the temporal prediction of the Wyner-Ziv (WZ) frames at the decoder. In this paper we propose a novel transform domain DVC codec architecture which splits each frame into two sub-frames and they are encoded separately as key sub-frame and WZ sub-frame. Pixel interpolation or median prediction techniques are utilized to generate the side information at the decoder. Simulation results show that a significant rate distortion improvement can be obtained with the proposed algorithm over the current DVC solutions.
