A Multimedia Video Conference System: Using Region Base Hybrid Coding

Using Region Base Hybrid Coding Hsu-Tung Chen and Liang-Gee Chen DSP/IC Design Lab., National Taiwan Universify, Taipei, Taiwan, R. 0. C. Email : d81054@video.ee.ntu.edu.t~ A suitable algorithm for video conference system is described. We call it region base hybrid coding algorithm. This method can do foreground and background segmentation. This is based on characteristic of an unchanging background on most of the video conference applications. This property provides as to reduce data rate and computation load. This algorithm is verified implementing a video conference system over LAN.
