4. Rate-Distortion Optimized Quantization
Previously, adaptive rounding was proposed to improve quantization, which captures the statistics of the incoming residual signal and adjusts the rounding offsets accordingly. However, the adaptive rounding quantization is still based on the criterion which [......]
3. Adaptive Rounding Encoding Technique using an Equal Expected-Value Rule
As discussed above, if the input p.d.f. is Laplacian distributed and if we can estimate λ, then the optimal f can be found analytically. But, usually the estimate of input p.d.f. is not available, then, how to select the roun[......]
2. Principle of H.264/AVC Normal Quantization Scheme
2.1. Scalar dead-zone quantization
In this section the principle of H.264/AVC normal quantization scheme is described in a generalized form.
A scalar quantizer for input signal W can be decomposed into a function Z=C[W] called a classification rul[......]
1. Overview
Currently most image and video coding systems and standards such as MPEG-1/2 and H264/AVC use transform-based techniques followed by quantization and entropy coding for performing compression. The key idea is that transforms de-correlate the signal and compact the energy of a block into [......]
