This paper presents a review of promising techniques for very low bit-rate, below 64 kb/s,
image sequence coding. Image sequence coding at such low rates will be a crucial …

We have reviewed the estimation of 2D motion from time-varying images, paying particular
attention to the underlying models, estimation criteria, and optimization strategies. Several …

We present a theory for the optimal bit allocation among quadtree (QT) segmentation,
displacement vector field (DVF), and displaced frame difference (DFD). The theory is …

One of the most intriguing problems in video processing is the removal of the redundancy or
the compression of a video signal. There are a large number of applications which depend …

This paper describes a method for motion-compensated compression of video sequences.
The proposed method enables very efficient encoding of video frames partitioned into …

Image segmentation provides a powerful semantic description of video imagery essential in
image understanding and efficient manipulation of image data. In particular, segmentation …

The Subject disclosure relates to implementing a device to find two or more predictor blocks
in one or more reference frames and to generate a new predictor block by combining …

(57) ABSTRACT A method of compressing video data having at least one frame having at
least one block and each block having an array of pixels is provided. The method transforms …
