An efficient scalable predictive coding method is proposed for the Wyner-Ziv problem, using nested lattice quantization followed by multi-layer Slepian-Wolf coders (SWC) with layered side information. The proposed coder can support embedded representation and high coding efficiency by exploiting the high quality version of the previous frame in the enhancement-layer coding of the current frame. Specifically, the decoder generates the enhancementlayer side information with an estimation approach to take into account all the available information to the enhancement layer. On the other hand, a practical switching algorithm is applied at the encoder to simplify the correlation estimation on the channel code design by assuming either the current reconstructed baselayer frame or prior enhancement-layer reconstruction as side information. Experiments based on a DPCM model show great benefits to the enhancement layer reconstruction. The paper also discusses the possible adaptation of this approach to practical video compression.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
