Abstract: |
The field of Distributed Video Coding (DVC) theory has received a lot of attention in recent years and effective encoding techniques have been proposed. In the present work the framework of pixel domain Wyner-Ziv coding of video frames is considered, following the scheme proposed in \cite{AZG_motionvideo}. Some key frames are supposed to be available at the decoder while other frames are Wyner-Ziv encoded using turbo codes; at the decoder motion compensated interpolation between the key frames is performed in order to construct the side information for the Wyner-Ziv frame decoding. In this paper an improved model for the correlation noise between the side information frame and the original one is proposed. It is shown that modeling the nonstationary nature of the noise leads to substantial gain in the rate-distortion performance. Furthermore, by considering the memory of the noise, we show that some further gain can be obtained by placing an interleaver before the turbo codec so as to spread the correlation noise all over the frame. |
