However, interest has been recently moving toward a more flexible concept in which the subject of the processing and encoding operations is a set of visual elements organized in both time and space in a flexible and arbitrarily complex way. The moving picture experts group (MPEG- 4) standard supports this concept and its verification model (VM) encoder has adopted scalable rate control (SRC) as the rate control scheme, which is based on the spatial domain and compatible with constant bit rate (CBR) and variable bit rate (VBR). In this paper,a new rate control algorithm based on the DCT domain instead of the pixel domain is presented. More-(over), macroblock level rate control scheme to compute the quantization step for each macroblock has been adopted. The experimental results show that the new algorithm can achieve a much better result than the original one in both peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and the coding bits, and that the new algorithm is more flexible than test model 5 (TM5) rate control algorithm.展开更多

A new algorithm for fast camera motion estimation in compressed domain is presented. In the retrieval process, camera-motion-based semantic retrieval is built. To improve the coverage of the proposed scheme, close-up retrieval in all kinds of videos is investigated. Extensive experiments illustrate that the proposed scheme provides promising retrieval results under real-time and automatic application scenario.展开更多

Based on the analysis of statistical characteristics of this kind of traffic, this paper presents a new traffic model. Simulation results show that the proposed model can reflect the statistical characteristics of the real MPEG 1 video traffic well.展开更多
文摘For a very long time video processing dealt exclusively with fixed-rate sequences of rectangular shaped images.
