Recently, many researches on frame skipping are conducted to reduce temporal redundancy in video frames. As a simple method, fixed frame skipping (FFS) adjusts frame rate by skipping frame at regular intervals. To overcome the poor performance of FFS, variable frame skipping (VFS) has been introduced to exploit the temporal dependency between frames. In this paper, scene-adaptive key frame selection method with low complexity is proposed. The proposed method performed about 20 percent better in complexity with the better visual quality than the conventional video encoding. As a preprocessing method, the proposed technology can be used with any conventional video codec.
In this paper, we propose the unified framework of frame skipping and interpolation (UF-FSI) for efficient video compression. Frame skipping and interpolation is one of the efficient approaches to reduce the redundancy of video frames. A joint design of frame skipping and interpolation is made for maximization of compression efficiency, which was not considered from previous research. A good advantage of UF-FSI is that it can be applied to any conventional video codec. Frame skipping in the proposed method is done by selecting key frames through analysis of neighboring frames. In frame interpolation, in-between frames are reconstructed by key frames using motion compensated interpolation. Using with MPEG-4 simple profile, UF-FSI offered additional coding efficiency up to 25 percent with good visual quality.
