Abstract

It is a weak point of the motion estimation technique for video compression that the predicted video encoding algorithm requires higher-order computational complexity. To reduce the computational complexity of encoding algorithms, researchers introduced techniques such as 3D-WT that don't require motion prediction. One of the weakest points of previous 3D-WT studies is that they require too much memory for encoding and too long delay for decoding. In this paper, we propose a technique called `FS (Fast playable and Scalable) 3D-WT' This technique uses a modified Haar wavelet transform algorithm and employs improved encoding algorithm for lower memory and shorter delay requirement. We have executed some tests to compare performance of FS 3D-WT and 3D-V. FS 3D-WT has exhibited the same high compression rate and the same short processing delay as 3D-V has.

비디오 압축에 사용되는 움직임 예측은 많은 계산과정을 요구하기 때문에 전체적인 부호기 복잡도를 높이는 단점을 지닌다. 이러한 부호기의 복잡도를 줄이기 위해 3D-WT과 같은 움직임 예측을 사용하지 않는 연구들이 소개되고 있다. 하지만, 기존의 3D-WT 기법들은 부호화를 위한 과도한 메모리 요구사항과 복호를 위한 수신 측의 지연시간이 가장 큰 단점으로 지적되었다. 본 논문에서는 수정된 Haar wavelet filter와 개선된 부호화 알고리즘을 통해서 메모리 사용량과 재생을 위한 지연시간을 최소로 하는 확장 가능한 3D-WT 기법인 FS(Fast playable and Scalable) 3D-WT를 소개한다. 3D-WT 중 가장 개선된 형태인 3D-V 기법과의 실험 결과 3D-V와 거의 비슷한 계산 처리 시간으로 높은 압축률과 수신 측에서의 짧은 지연시간을 보였다.
