Abstract
Distributed Video Coding (DVC) is a new coding paradigm for video
compression, based on Slepian- Wolf (lossless coding) and Wyner-Ziv (lossy
coding) information theoretic results. DVC is useful for emerging applications
such as wireless video cameras, wireless low-power surveillance networks and
disposable video cameras for medical applications etc. The primary objective of
DVC is low-complexity video encoding, where bulk of computation is shifted to
the decoder, as opposed to low-complexity decoder in conventional video
compression standards such as H.264 and MPEG etc. There are couple of early
architectures and implementations of DVC from Stanford University[2][3] in
2002, Berkeley University PRISM (Power-efficient, Robust, hIgh-compression,
Syndrome-based Multimedia coding)[4][5] in 2002 and European project DISCOVER
(DIStributed COding for Video SERvices)[6] in 2007. Primarily there are two
types of DVC techniques namely pixel domain and transform domain based.
Transform domain design will have better rate-distortion (RD) performance as it
exploits spatial correlation between neighbouring samples and compacts the
block energy into as few transform coefficients as possible (aka energy
compaction). In this paper, architecture, implementation details and "C" model
results of our transform domain DVC are presented.
