On Sparse Coding As An Alternate Transform In Video Coding, Michael G. Schimpf
On Sparse Coding As An Alternate Transform In Video Coding, Michael G. Schimpf
Engineering Ph.D. Theses
In video compression, specifically in the prediction process, a residual signal is calculated by subtracting the predicted from the original signal, which represents the error of this process. This residual signal is usually transformed by a discrete cosine transform (DCT) from the pixel, into the frequency domain. It is then quantized, which filters more or less high frequencies (depending on a quality parameter). The quantized signal is then entropy encoded usually by a context-adaptive binary arithmetic coding engine (CABAC), and written into a bitstream. In the decoding phase the process is reversed. DCT and quantization in combination are efficient tools, …
