Lossy Compression Techniques in Video Codecs

Abstract

A detailed overview on the H.264/AVC lossy compression technique is listed in this thesis, the simplification process for the ITU-T standard book decoder equations is clarified, and also the assumption for the encoding equations is clarified. A new assumption for the encoding process for the DC portion of the data with its two types (Luminance and Chrominance) is clarified. Also a full implementation procedure for the whole process is implemented using three implementation techniques: 1. Matlab Software 2. Simulink Software 3. Mentorgraphics Modelsim VHDL Simulation Software The overview for each of the coding technique and its verification process is also listed in this thesis. The future work for this implementation process could be summarized as 1. Optimum QP value could be detected 2. More speed and processing simplification and enhancement could be done 3. System Integration with the other H.264/AVC implemented techniques and a full implementation for the “Set Top Box” device could be done
