Encoder and Decoder Side Global and Local Motion Estimation for Distributed Video Coding

Touradj Ebrahimi, Frédéric Dufaux

In this paper, we propose a new Distributed Video Coding (DVC) architecture where motion estimation is performed both at the encoder and decoder, effectively combining global and local motion models. We show that the proposed approach improves significantl ...
