The use of temporal redundancy is of vital importance for a successful video coding algorithm. An effective approach is the hybrid video coder where motion estimation is used for prediction of the next image frame and code the prediction error, and the motion field. The standard method for motion estimation is block matching as in MPEG-2, typically...

This paper proposes a model for estimating, at the decoder side, the distortion induced by the transmission over an error-prone channel, when error-free reconstructed frames are not available as a reference. The proposed estimation model considers explicitly the temporal error concealment algorithm adopted at the decoder. In the evaluation of the i...
In video compression, coding efficiency is improved by reusing pixels from previously decoded frames via motion and residual compensation. We define two levels of hierarchical redundancy in video frames: 1) first-order: redundancy in pixel space, i.e., similarities in pixel values across neighboring frames, which is effectively captured using motio...
In the framework of sequence coding, motion estimation and compensation has been shown to be very efficient at removing temporal redundancy. The motion existing in a scene can be mainly seen as arising from local motions superimposed to the camera motion. In this paper, a new two stage global/local motion estimation approach is presented. The globa...
Motion estimation (ME) is an important part of modern video coding systems to exploit temporary redundancy in a video. Motion estimation is typically per-formed firstly with integer-pixel accuracy and then at sub-pixel accuracy, which includes half-pixel and quarter-pixel accuracy. When sophisticated fast integer-pixel accuracy motion-search algori...
3D video coding for transmission exploits the Disparity Estimation (DE) to remove the inter-view redundancies present within both the texture and the depth map multi-view videos. Good estimation accuracy can be achieved by partitioning the macro-block into smaller subblocks partitions. However, the DE process must be performed on each individual su...

Description and estimation of local spatial structure has a long history and numerous analysis tools have been developed. A concept that is widely recognized as fundamental in the analysis is the structure tensor. It has, however, a fairly broad and unspecific meaning. This chapter is intended to provide a framework for displaying the differences and similarities of existing structure estimation approaches. A new method for structure tensor estimation, which is a generalization of many of it’s predecessors, is presented. The method uses pairs of filter sets having Fourier directional responses in the form of monomials, one odd order set and one even order set. It is shown that such filter sets allow for a particularly simple way of attaining phase invariant, positive semi-definite, local structure tensor estimates. In addition, we show that the chosen filter sets directly links order, scale and the gradient operator. We continue to compare a number of known structure tensor algorithms by formulating them in monomial filter set terms. In conclusion we show how higher order tensors can be estimated using a generalization of the same simple formulation.
