摘要
Wyner-Ziv Video Coding （WZVC） is considered as a promising video coding scheme for Wireless Video Sensor Networks （WVSNs） due to its high compression efficiency and error resilience functionalities, as well as its low encoding complex- ity. To achieve a good Rate-Distortion （R-D） per- formance, the current WZVC paradi^prls usually a- dopt an end-to-end rate control scheme in which the decoder repeatedly requests the additional deco- ding data from the encoder for decoding Wyner-Ziv frames. Therefore, the waiting time of the additional decoding data is especially long in multihop WVSNs. In this paper, we propose a novel pro- gressive in-network rate control scheme for WZVC. The proposed in-network puncturing-based rate control scheme transfers the partial channel codes puncturing task from the encoder to the relay nodes. Then, the decoder can request the addition- al decoding data from the relay nodes instead of the encoder, and the total waiting time for deco- ding Wyner-Ziv frames is reduced consequently. Simulation results validate the proposed rate con- trol scheme.
Wyner-Ziv Video Coding (WZVC) is considered as a promising video coding scheme for Wireless Video Sensor Networks (WVSNs) due to its high comp ression efficiency and error resilience functionalities, as well as its low encoding comp lexity. To achieve a good Rate-Distortion (R-D) performance, the current WZVC paradigms usually adopt an end-to-end rate control scheme in which the decoder rep eatedly requests the additional decoding data from the encoder for decoding Wyner-Ziv frames. Therefore, the waiting time of the additional decoding data is esp ecially long in multihop WVSNs. In this paper, we propose a novel progressive in-network rate control scheme for WZVC. The proposed in-network puncturing-based rate control scheme transfers the partial channel codes puncturing task from the encoder to the relay nodes. Then, the decoder can request the additional decoding data from the relay nodes instead of the encoder, and the total waiting time for decoding Wyner-Ziv frames is reduced consequently. Simulation results validate the proposed rate control scheme.
