Video Compression Using Wavelets And Hierarchical Motion Estimation, Andrew Peter Byrne
Video Compression Using Wavelets And Hierarchical Motion Estimation, Andrew Peter Byrne
Theses : Honours
This thesis investigates the benefits and the significant compression that can be obtained from data that has been decomposed using a wavelet transform. A video compression algorithm was developed that employs the wavelet transform and a hierarchical motion estimation algorithm which itself utilises benefits of the wavelet transform. Using MATLAB, a popular software tool for matrix based computation and analysis, several functions were developed which together formed the video compression algorithm. A variety of tests were conducted on a sample video sequence to ascertain the strengths and weaknesses of the techniques employed. The results, although not the same as the …
