Abstract

This paper proposes a new video compression algorithm using an adaptive transform that is adjusted depending on the frequency contents of the input signals. The adaptive transform is based on the warped discrete cosine transform (WDCT) which is shown to provide better performance than the DCT at high bit rates, when applied to JPEG compression scheme [1, 2, 3]. The WDCT is applied to the video compression in this paper, as a new feature in the H.264/AVC. The proposed method shows the coding gain over the H.264/AVC at high bit rates. The coding gain is shown over the 35dB PSNR quality, and the gain increases as the bit rate increases. (about 1.0dB at 45dB PSNR quality at maximum)
