....a compromised and hybrid scheme, where the non scalable base layer and scalable enhancement layer is mixed and guaranteed transmission is required for the generation time fixed base layer. On the meanwhile, some researchers extend the 2 D embedded wavelet image coding to 3 D wavelet video solution [4] by including time as the third dimension. However, since multiple sequences should be transformed and even encoded together, larger buffer is required and longer delay is introduced as well. While the 3 D wavelet video solution can realize the spatial SNR and temporal scalability simultaneously; ....

....coefficients. The transformed coefficients are then quantized and run length encoded before transmission. In a sense, wavelet compression results in progressively encoded video. Two common approaches for wavelet compression are to use a motion compensated 2 dimensional (2 D) wavelet function [11] or a 3 D wavelet [12] Wavelet compression overcomes the blocking effects of DCT based methods since the entire image is used in encoding instead of blocks. An important feature of wavelet transforms is the support of scalability for image and video compression. Wavelet transforms coupled with ....

In a prediction based video concentric mosaic coder, local motion can be specified on a per block basis, thus interframe correlation due to the moving object camera can be efficiently explored, which ....

....apply a 3 D wavelet transform with an arbitrary region of support to the warped volume. To make use of the local block motion, Ohm [4] incorporated block matching and carefully handled the covered uncovered, connected unconnected regions. By trading off the invertibility requirement, Tham et al. [5] employed a block based motion registration for low motion sequences without filling the holes caused by individual block motion. In this paper, a smart rebinning operation is proposed as a novel preprocessing technique for the 3 D wavelet compression of the concentric mosaic. Rather than ....

....combination of spatial and temporal scalabilities has been proposed by the authors [10] Such a two layer system exhibits moderate bitrate overheads due to scalability. Straightforward extension of this idea onto three layer systems is possible but not very practical because an input resolution of 720 x 576 pixels and 50 frames per second would imply the base layer in QCIF format (180 x 144) with 12.5 frames per second. Therefore a combination of spatiotemporal scalability with DCT data partitioning related also to some SNR scalability is proposed in this paper. The problem considered in ....

....the temporal redundancy across frames is reduced through motion compensation and block residue coding. A reference block coder (RBC) has been proposed with similar concept to compress the concentric mosaic scene [13] Along a separate direction, three dimensional (3D) wavelet video coder[2] 3] 4][5] presents another category of video coding approaches that explore the temporal redundancy via temporal direction wavelet filtering. One attractive property of the 3D wavelet video coder is its spatial temporal quality scalability. Here the term scalability means that a 3D wavelet coder can ....

....time frequency localization and multi scale representation of signals, have contributed to its increasing popularity. In the SeeWAVE system, we employ the wavelet transform to perform decomposition of each video frame. The algorithm is based on the tri zerotrees (TRI ZTR) scheme proposed in [14] with the difference that the size of GOF is one, i.e. only intra frame coding is performed. The TRI ZTR method is based on the embedded zerotree wavelet (EZW) algorithm [13] With EZW, a video frame is encoded into a bit stream in which the more important pieces of information, i.e. wavelet ....

....transform is performed on each component. Through the EZW transform, embedded data streams are generated for each component, which are then merged into a full color stream for the frame in the video sequence. The method for generating the merged full EZW video stream is based on that described in [14]. After the full EZW stream is obtained, it is separated into layers using the proposed colorresolution layering scheme. From Figure 4, it can be seen that for both grayscale (Y) and color (including both U and V) components, a sub stream is produced for each resolution level. In particular, the ....
