A New Video Coding Algorithm using 3D-Subband Coding and Lattice Vector Quantization

  • Published : 1997.12.01

Abstract

In this paper, we propose an efficient motion adaptive 3-dimensional (3D) video coding algorithm using 3D subband coding (3D-SBC) and lattice vector quantization (LVQ) for low bit rate. Instead of splitting input video sequences into the fixed number of subbands along the temporal axes, we decompose them into temporal subbands of variable size according to motions in frames. Each spatio-temporally splitted 7 subbands are partitioned by quadtree technique and coded with lattice vector quantization(LVQ). The simulation results show 0.1∼4.3dB gain over H.261 in peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) at low bit rate(64Kbps).
