Abstract:This paper describes a motion Wavelet transform Zero Tree (WZT) codec which achieves good compression ratios and can be implemented in a single ASIC of modest size (and very low cost). WZT includes a number of trade-offs which reduce the compression rate but which simplify the implementation and reduce the cost. The figure of merit in our codec is ASIC silicon area required, and we are willing to sacrifice some rate/distortion performance with respect to the best available algorithms to that goal.The codec emp… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
