  • Video Coding Standards
    Module 8 Video Coding Standards Version 2 ECE IIT, Kharagpur Lesson 23 MPEG-1 standards Version 2 ECE IIT, Kharagpur Lesson objectives At the end of this lesson, the students should be able to : 1. Enlist the major video coding standards 2. State the basic objectives of MPEG-1 standard. 3. Enlist the set of constrained parameters in MPEG-1 4. Define the I- P- and B-pictures 5. Present the hierarchical data structure of MPEG-1 6. Define the macroblock modes supported by MPEG-1 23.0 Introduction In lesson 21 and lesson 22, we studied how to perform motion estimation and thereby temporally predict the video frames to exploit significant temporal redundancies present in the video sequence. The error in temporal prediction is encoded by standard transform domain techniques like the DCT, followed by quantization and entropy coding to exploit the spatial and statistical redundancies and achieve significant video compression. The video codecs therefore follow a hybrid coding structure in which DPCM is adopted in temporal domain and DCT or other transform domain techniques in spatial domain. Efforts to standardize video data exchange via storage media or via communication networks are actively in progress since early 1980s. A number of international video and audio standardization activities started within the International Telephone Consultative Committee (CCITT), followed by the International Radio Consultative Committee (CCIR), and the International Standards Organization / International Electrotechnical Commission (ISO/IEC). An experts group, known as the Motion Pictures Expects Group (MPEG) was established in 1988 in the framework of the Joint ISO/IEC Technical Committee with an objective to develop standards for coded representation of moving pictures, associated audio, and their combination for storage and retrieval of digital media.

Compression allows broadcasters and premium TV providers to deliver their content to their audience. Many video compression standards currently exist in TV broadcasting. Each standard has different properties, some of which are better suited to traditional live TV while others are more suited to video on demand (VoD). Two basic standards can be identified in the history of video compression: • MPEG-2, a legacy codec used for SD video and early digital broadcasting.

  • Motion Compensation on DCT Domain

J. Ray Liu Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Institute for Systems Research, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742, USA Email: [email protected] Received 21 May 2001 and in revised form 21 September 2001 Alternative fully DCT-based video codec architectures have been proposed in the past to address the shortcomings of the conven- tional hybrid motion compensated DCT video codec structures traditionally chosen as the basis of implementation of standard- compliant codecs. However, no prior effort has been made to ensure interoperability of these two drastically different architectures so that fully DCT-based video codecs are fully compatible with the existing video coding standards. In this paper, we establish the criteria for matching conventional codecs with fully DCT-based codecs. We find that the key to this interoperability lies in the heart of the implementation of motion compensation modules performed in the spatial and transform domains at both the encoder and the decoder. Specifically,if the spatial-domain motion compensation is compatible with the transform-domain motion compensation, then the states in both the coder and the decoder will keep track of each other even after a long series of P-frames. Otherwise, the states will diverge in proportion to the number of P-frames between two I-frames. This sets an important criterion for the development of any DCT-based motion compensation schemes.

Introduction to compression techniques JPEG, Motion JPEG and MPEG are three well-used acronyms used to describe different types of image compression format. But what do they mean, and why are they so relevant to today’s rapidly expanding surveillance market? This White Paper describes the differences, and aims to provide a few answers as to why they are so important and for which surveillance applications they are suitable. When designing a networked digital surveillance application, developers need to initially consider the following factors: > Is a still picture or a video sequence required? > What is the available network bandwidth? > What image degradation is allowed due to compression – so called artifacts? > What is the budget for the system? When an ordinary analog video sequence is digitized according to the standard CCIR 601, it can consume as much as 165 Mbps, which is 165 million bits every second.

  • MPEG-2 Fundamentals for Broadcast and Post-Production Engineers
    Mpeg2 Page 1 of 21 MPEG-2 Fundamentals for Broadcast and Post-Production Engineers A Video and Networking Division White Paper By Adolfo Rodriguez, David K. Fibush and Steven C. Bilow July, 1996 INTRODUCTION This paper will discuss the digital representation of video as defined in the MPEG-2 standard and will examine some crucial, strategic issues regarding the newly adopted 4:2:2 profile at main level. Specifically, we will cover the rationale for this new profile and will illustrate the benefits it provides to the broadcast and post-production communities. The intent of this paper is to articulate the appropriate applications of the various MPEG profiles and levels, and to demonstrate the fundamental necessity for the new 4:2:2 profile. We will also address the encoder/decoder compatibility required by the standard, the pervasive need for a 4:2:2 video representation, and the method by which the 4:2:2 profile at main level allows MPEG-2 to provide these advantages in a cost-effective manner. The new MPEG 4:2:2 profile at main level has recently become an official part of the MPEG standard. To broadcasters and production houses that do not accept the low chroma bandwidth options provided by previous MPEG main level profiles, the 4:2:2 profile at main level will prove to be the long-awaited solution for contribution quality MPEG compressed video. The Tektronix perspective is the result of a 50-year history of instrumentation, broadcast, and video equipment design. It is also the product of our success in helping the MPEG-2 standards body toward the provision of this new, cost-effective support for broadcast-quality video.
