Encoder-driven rate control and mode decision for distributed video coding Vrije Universiteit Brussel
To provide low-complexity encoding for video in unidirectional or offline compression scenarios, this paper proposes an efficient feedback-channel-free distributed video coding architecture featuring a novel encoder-driven rate control scheme in tandem with a designated mode selection process. To this end, the encoder features a novel low-complexity motion estimation technique to approximate the side-information (SI) available at the decoder. ...
