Abstract

We propose a new video compression method based on MCTF(motion compensated temporal filtering) with constant quality. SPECK is an efficient image compression coding method of encoding DWT coefficients. Especially SPECK method is very efficient for coding the motion compensated residual image which usually has larger amounts of high frequency components than the natural images. And proposed multi block size hierarchical motion estimation technique is more efficient than classical block matching algorithm with fixed block size both in estimation precision and operation costs. Proposed video method based on MCTF video compression can also support multi-frame rate decoding with reasonable complexity. Simulation results showed that proposed method outperforms H.263 video compression standard.

움직임 보상을 적용한 시간 영역 필터링(MCTF)을 이용한 화질 보장형의 새로운 동영상 압축 방식을 제안한다. SPECK은 그 자체의 단순한 알고리즘으로 인하여 빠른 동작 속도를 가지면서도 동시에 고주파 성분이 많은 영상의 압축에 탁월한 성능을 보여주는 우수한 웨이블릿 변환 기반의 영상 압축기법이다. 또한 제안한 계층적 구조의 다중 크기 블록 움직임 예측은 비교적 낮은 연산량에도 불구하고 기존의 고정 블록 크기의 움직임 예측기보다 우수한 성능을 보인다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 낮은 복잡도의 기술을 MCTF 기반 동영상 압축에 적용하여, 다중 재생률까지 지원이 가능한 동영상 압축 방식을 구현하였으며 H.263 압축방식에 비해 우수한 압축 성능을 보임을 확인하였다.
