In the HEVC standard, transform coefficient coding that affects the output bitstream directly is a core part of the encoder and it includes coefficient scanning and entropy coding. Recently, JCT-VC(Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding) advances to HEVC Committee Draft (CD). In this paper, we explain HEVC transform coefficient coding and propose an efficient transform coefficient coding method considering statistics of transform coefficients in the intra frame coder. The proposed method reduces BD-Rate by up to 0.74%, compared to the conventional HEVC transform coefficient coding.

In the communications systems with diversity, we are commonly faced on needing of new source coding technique, error resilient coding. The error resilient coding addresses the coding algorithm that has the robustness to unreliability of communications channel. In recent years, many error resilient coding techniques were proposed such as data partitioning, resynchronization, error detection, concealment, reference picture selection and multiple description coding (MDC). In this paper, we proposed an MDC using whitening transform. The conventional MDC using correlating transform is need additional information to decode the image. But, if an image is transformed using the whitening transform, the additional information is not necessary to transform because the coefficients of whitening transform have uni-variance statistics.

In recent years, due to its high efficiency and better performance, the high efficiency video coding (HEVC) has become the most common compression standard in the field of video coding. In this paper, the framework of HEVC is deeply analyzed, and an improved HEVC video coding algorithm based on all phase biorthogonal transform (APBT) is proposed, where APBT is utilized to replace the discrete cosine transform (DCT) and discrete sine transform (DST) in original HEVC standard. Based on the relationship between APBT and DCT, the integer APBT is deduced. To further improve the coding performance, an optimal HEVC video coding algorithm based on hybrid APBT is proposed. The coding performance of the proposed HEVC coding algorithm is improved without increasing the complexity. Experimental results show that compared with HEVC standard algorithm, the improved HEVC video coding algorithm based on hybrid APBT can improve the coding performance of chrominance components by about 0.3%.

Prediction errors generated by motion compensated coding are coded with transform coding techniques as DCT. The performance of transform coding techniques are lowered mainly due to the source characteristics with a great deal of zero populations and plus-minus sign changes, i.e., low correlation. In this paper a transform coding scheme which adopts a decomposition of prediciton errors into two sources is proposed and compared its performance with conventional scheme.

In hybrid block-based video coding, transform coding converts spatial domain residual signals into frequency domain data and concentrates energy in a low frequency band to achieve a high compression efficiency in entropy coding. The state-of-the-art video coding standard, VVC(Versatile Video Coding), uses DCT-2(Discrete Cosine Transform type 2), DST-7(Discrete Sine Transform type 7), and DCT-8(Discrete Cosine Transform type 8) for primary transform. In this paper, considering that DCT-2, DST-7, and DCT-8 are all linear transformations, we propose an inverse transform that reduces the number of multiplications in the inverse transform by using the linearity of the linear transform. The proposed inverse transform method reduced encoding time and decoding time by an average 26%, 15% in AI and 4%, 10% in RA without the increase of bitrate compared to VTM-8.2.

The lapped orthogonal transform(LOT) has been recently proposed to alleviate the blocking effects in transform coding. The LOT is known to provide an improved coding gain than the conventional transform. In this paper, we propose a prefilter approach to design the LOT bases with the view of maximizing the transform coding gain. Since the nonlinear phase basis is inappropriate to the image coding only the linear phase basis is considered in this paper. Our approach is mainly based on decomposing the transform matrix into the orthogonal matrix and the prefilter matrix. And by assuming that the input is the 1st order Markov source we design the prefilter matrix and the orthogonal matirx maximizing the transform coding gain. The computer simulation results show that the proposed LOT provides about 0.6~0.8 dB PSNR gain over the DCT and about 0.2~0.3 dB PSNR gain over the conventional LOT [7]. Also, the subjective test reveals that the proposed LOT shows less blocking effect than the DCT.

This paper proposes the use of wavelet packet transform in a transform based video coding scheme, which is mainly used in low/very low bit-rate video coding schemes i.e. H.263 standard. In the experiments, the discrete cosine transform in the video coding scheme is replaced by the wavelet packet transform, and the improved performance in term of peak signal to noise ratio is measured and compared with the results obtained from the coding scheme implementing the ordinary wavelet transform. The experimental results show an impressive improvement obtained from the use of wavelet packet transform.

This paper proposes a color image coding algorithm based on shape-adaptive all phase biorthogonal transform (SA-APBT). This algorithm is implemented through four procedures: color space conversion, image segmentation, shape coding, and texture coding. Region-of-interest (ROI) and background area are obtained by image segmentation. Shape coding uses chain code. The texture coding of the ROI is prior to the background area. SA-APBT and uniform quantization are adopted in texture coding. Compared with the color image coding algorithm based on shape-adaptive discrete cosine transform (SA-DCT) at the same bit rates, experimental results on test color images reveal that the objective quality and subjective effects of the reconstructed images using the proposed algorithm are better, especially at low bit rates. Moreover, the complexity of the proposed algorithm is reduced because of uniform quantization.

The emerging high efficiency video coding (HEVC) standard adopts the quadtree-structured transform unit (TU) in the residual quadtree (RQT) coding. Each TU allows to be split into four equal sub-TUs recursively. The RQT coding is performed for all the possible transform depth levels to achieve the highest coding efficiency, but it requires a very high computational complexity for HEVC encoders. In order to reduce the computational complexity requested by the RQT coding, in this paper, we propose a fast TU size decision method incorporating an adaptive maximum transform depth determination (AMTD) algorithm and a full check skipping - early termination (FCS-ET) algorithm. Because the optimal transform depth level is highly content-dependent, it is not necessary to perform the RQT coding at all transform depth levels. By the AMTD algorithm, the maximum transform depth level is determined for current treeblock to skip those transform depth levels rarely used by its spatially adjacent treeblocks. Additionally, the FCS-ET algorithm is introduced to exploit the correlations of transform depth level between four sub-CUs generated by one coding unit (CU) quadtree partitioning. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed overall algorithm significantly reduces on average 21% computational complexity while maintaining almost the same rate distortion (RD) performance as the HEVC test model reference software, HM 13.0.

In this paper, we propose a novel interframe coding algorithm especially appropriate for 3-D medical images. The proposed algorithm is based on a video coding algorithm using motion estimation/ compensation and transform coding. In the algorithm, warping is adopted lor motion compensation (MC). Then, by using adaptive mode selection, a motion compensated residual image and original image are mixed up in the wavelet transform domain for improvement in coding performance. The mixed image is then compressed by the zerotree coding method. We prove that the adaptive mode selection technique in the wavelet transform domain is very useful lor 3-D medical image coding. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme provides good performance regardless of inter-slice distance and is prospective for 3-D medical image compression.
