Abstract

In video coding applications the main objective is to remove the vast amount of redundancy which normally exists in the spatial domain (within a frame) as well as in the temporal direction (frame-to-frame). Attempts to minimize the temporal redundancies can be accomplished by interframe coding techniques [1]. In addition, many applications of high compression video coding involve the use of hybrid coding [2]. This method, which is a combination of DPCM and transform coding, is presently considered the most effective coding for video teleconferencing applications [3,4]. The main disadvantage of this method however, is the subjective degradation in which the viewers perceive the outlines of the transform blocks. This type of distortion, which appears as discontinuities at the edges of blocks, can be very objectionable to the viewer. As a result, in this Chapter we present a different approach which is not only free of block distortion but also extremely efficient in terms of compression and hardware complexity. The method is based on bandwidth splitting using quadrature mirror filtering (QMF) which has been extensively investigated in recent years for still image applications [5–14].
