Information-theoretic research of video coding: theory and algorithms

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Video communications is a major area of growth in engineering today and in the future. Just look at the growing popularity of Internet TV, Internet video conferencing, and mobile video. A key problem in video communications, however, is the conflict between the growing data volume of video and the increasing shortage of bandwidth. This is particularly true in wireless video communications. Indeed, with the growing popularity of wireless video and the proliferation of high definition TV and other emerging new video applications, the bandwidth shortage becomes increasingly severe to the extent that it is regarded as an issue meriting our national attention. As such, there is strong demand for better video coding technologies which can improve compression efficiency significantly while providing other green features such as low complexity (hence low encoding and decoding power consumption) and scalability.
