The detailed discussion of each category is given below. 2.1 Foveated Video Compression Recently, foveated video compression (FVC) schemes have gain major interest by many researchers in the field of video coding. Since FVC schemes exploit non-uniformity in the resolution of the retina by allocating more number of bits to visual fixation points and reducing resolution drastically away Figure 2.1: Categorisation of literature from the fixation points, it delivers review perceptually high quality at greatly reduced bandwidths.

  • The H.264 Advanced Video Coding (AVC) Standard
    Whitepaper: The H.264 Advanced Video Coding (AVC) Standard What It Means to Web Camera Performance Introduction A new generation of webcams is hitting the market that makes video conferencing a more lifelike experience for users, thanks to adoption of the breakthrough H.264 standard. This white paper explains some of the key benefits of H.264 encoding and why cameras with this technology should be on the shopping list of every business. The Need for Compression Today, Internet connection rates average in the range of a few megabits per second. While VGA video requires 147 megabits per second (Mbps) of data, full high definition (HD) 1080p video requires almost one gigabit per second of data, as illustrated in Table 1. Table 1. Display Resolution Format Comparison Format Horizontal Pixels Vertical Lines Pixels Megabits per second (Mbps) QVGA 320 240 76,800 37 VGA 640 480 307,200 147 720p 1280 720 921,600 442 1080p 1920 1080 2,073,600 995 Video Compression Techniques Digital video streams, especially at high definition (HD) resolution, represent huge amounts of data. In order to achieve real-time HD resolution over typical Internet connection bandwidths, video compression is required. The amount of compression required to transmit 1080p video over a three megabits per second link is 332:1! Video compression techniques use mathematical algorithms to reduce the amount of data needed to transmit or store video. Lossless Compression Lossless compression changes how data is stored without resulting in any loss of information. Zip files are losslessly compressed so that when they are unzipped, the original files are recovered.

H.264/AVC is the most modern and bandwidth-efficient compression algorithm specified for video recording in the Digital Recording IRIG Standard 106-11, Chapter 10. This bandwidth efficiency is largely derived from the inter-frame compression component of the standard. Motion JPEG-2000 compression is often considered for cockpit display recording, due to the concern that details in the symbols and graphics suffer excessively from artifacts of inter-frame compression and that critical information might be lost. In this paper, we report on a quantitative comparison of H.264/AVC and Motion JPEG-2000 encoding for HD video telemetry. Actual encoder implementations in video recorder products are used for the comparison. INTRODUCTION The phenomenal advances in video compression over the last two decades have made it possible to compress the bit rate of a video stream of imagery acquired at 24-bits per pixel (8-bits for each of the red, green and blue components) with a rate of a fraction of a bit per pixel.

The amount of data needed to store an uncompressed image is large. But while it still might be feasible to store a full resolution uncompressed image, storing video sequences without compression is not. Assuming a normal frame-rate of about 25 frames per second, the amount of data needed to store one hour of high definition video is about 560GB1. Compressing each image on its own, would reduce this amount, but it would not make the video small enough to be stored on today's typical storage mediums. To overcome this problem, video compression algorithms have exploited the temporal redundancies in the video frames. By using previously encoded, or decoded, frames to predict values for the next frame, the data can be compressed with such a rate that storage becomes feasible.

  • Intra-Frame JPEG-2000 Vs. Inter-Frame Compression Comparison: the Benefits and Trade-Offs for Very High Quality, High Resolution Sequences
    SMPTE Technical Conference and Exhibition Media Networks, the Reality! Intra-frame JPEG-2000 vs. Inter-frame Compression Comparison: The benefits and trade-offs for very high quality, high resolution sequences Michael Smith and John Villasenor For the past several decades, most of the research on image and video compression has focused on addressing highly bandwidth-constrained environments. However, some of the most compelling applications of image and video compression involve extremely high-quality, high- resolution image sequences where the primary constraints are related to quality and flexibility. The interest in flexibility, in particular the potential to generate lower resolution extractions from a single higher-resolution master was a primary driver behind the recent evaluation and consideration of JPEG2000 compression for digital cinema sequences. JPEG2000 is an intra- frame coding method where a single frame is coded at a time and no frame-to-frame motion compensation is applied. While the efficiency of exploiting inter-frame motion compensation is well established for lower bit rates, far less attention has been given to this issue for digital cinema resolutions. This paper addresses the specific coding efficiency differences between inter and intra frame coding for very high quality, high-resolution image sequences and at a wide variety of bit rate ranges. The information presented here will be useful to system designers aiming to balance the flexibility and benefits of intra-frame approaches against the bandwidth advantages of inter-frame methods that exploit frame-to-frame correlation.
