Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new motion vector coding algorithm suitable for MPEG-4 Part 10 video coding standard. In the proposed algorithm, the amount of the motion for a given video sequence is Predicted by using a characteristic of the motion vector distribution for the neighboring blocks as well as the MB_type, which is the syntax element in the standard. And one of the independent coding and the combined coding methods is adaptively employed to compress the motion vector difference. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the conventional methods without additional memory and calculations.

본 논문에서는 MPEG-4 Part 10 동영상 압축 표준에 대한 새로운 움직임 벡터 부호화 알고리듬을 제안한다. 제안 알고리듬에서는 주변 블록들의 움직임 벡터 분포와 MPEG-4 Part 10의 구문 요소인 매크로블록 유형을 이용하여 주어진 동영상의 움직임 정도를 예측한다. 그리고 예측 결과에 따라서 독립 부호화 방식과 결합 부호화 방식을 적응적으로 선택하여 움직임 벡터 압축을 수행한다. 모의 실험 결과는 부가적인 메모리나 계산량 없이 제안 방식이 기존 방식들보다 우수한 압축 성능을 지님을 보여준다.
