Distributed Monoview and Multiview Video Coding

Growing percentage of the world population now uses image and video coding technologies on a regular basis. These technologies are behind the success and quick deployment of services and products such as digital pictures, digital television, DVDs, and Internet video communications. Today's digital video coding paradigm represented by the ITU-T and MPEG standards mainly relies on a hybrid of block- based transform and interframe predictive coding approaches. In this coding framework, the encoder architecture has the task to exploit both the temporal and spatial redundancies present in the video sequence, which is a rather complex exercise. As a consequence, all standard video encoders have a much higher computational complexity than the decoder (typically five to ten times more complex), mainly due to the temporal correlation exploitation tools, notably the motion estimation process. This type of architecture is well-suited for applications where the video is encoded once and decoded many times, i.e., one-to-many topologies, such as broadcasting or video-on-demand, where the cost of the decoder is more critical than the cost of the encoder.
