This paper reviews recent advances in using B pictures in the context of the draft H.
264/AVC video-compression standard. We focus on reference picture selection and linearly …

In region-of-interest (ROI)-based video coding, ROI parts of the frame are encoded with
higher quality than non-ROI parts. At low bit rates, such encoding may produce attention …

A unified approach to the coder control of video coding standards such as MPEG-2, H. 263,
MPEG-4, and the draft video coding standard H. 264/AVC (advanced video coding) is …

H. 264/AVC, the result of the collaboration between the ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts
Group and the ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group, is the latest standard for video coding …

Video transmission in wireless environments is a challenging task calling for high-
compression efficiency as well as a network friendly design. Both have been major goals of …

In this paper, an efficient rate-control scheme for H. 264/AVC video encoding is proposed.
The redesign of the quantization scheme in H. 264/AVC results in that the relationship …

We propose a rate-distortion optimization (RDO) scheme based on the structural similarity
(SSIM) index, which was found to be a better indicator of perceived image quality than mean …

H. 264/MPEG-4 AVC is a recently completed video compression standard jointly developed
by the ITU-T VCEG and the ISO/IEC MPEG standards committees. The standard promises …

Intra prediction with rate-distortion constrained mode decision is the most important
technology in H. 264/AVC intra frame coder, which is competitive with the latest image …

We propose a direction-adaptive DWT (DA-DWT) that locally adapts the filtering directions to
image content based on directional lifting. With the adaptive transform, energy compaction is …
