Iterative Multiview Side Information for Enhanced Reconstruction in Distributed Video Coding

Touradj Ebrahimi, Frédéric Dufaux, Mourad Ouaret

Distributed Video Coding (DVC) is a new paradigm for video compression based on the information theoretical results of Slepian and Wolf (SW) and Wyner and Ziv (WZ). DVC entails low complexity encoders as well as separate encoding of correlated video source ...

Improved Side Information Generation for Distributed Video Coding by Exploiting Spatial and Temporal Correlations

Touradj Ebrahimi, Frédéric Dufaux, Mourad Ouaret

Distributed Video Coding (DVC) is a new paradigm in video coding, which is receiving a lot of interests nowadays. Side Information (SI) generation is a key function in the DVC decoder, and plays a key-role in determining the performance of the codec. This ...
