“…Several methods [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] have been proposed in the literature for predicting zero-quantised DCT (ZQDCT) coefficients followed by quantisation to reduce the computational complexity (CC) of inter-frame video coding [1][2][3][4][5][6][7], intra-frame video coding [8][9][10] and image compression [11]. Most of these methods use statistical approach and compare the sum of absolute difference (SAD) of residual pixels with different thresholds to predict an all-zero block or a partial-zero block.…”
