New Adaptive Algorithms for GOP Size Control with Return Channel Suppression in Wyner-Ziv Video Coding

We present novel algorithms for adaptive GOP size control in distributed Wyner-Ziv video coding, where an H.264 video codec is used for intracoding of key frames. The proposed algorithms rely on theoretical calculations to estimate the bit rate necessary for the successful decoding of Wyner-Ziv fram...

description We present novel algorithms for adaptive GOP size control in distributed Wyner-Ziv video coding, where an H.264 video codec is used for intracoding of key frames. The proposed algorithms rely on theoretical calculations to estimate the bit rate necessary for the successful decoding of Wyner-Ziv frames without the need for a feedback channel, which makes the system suitable for broadcasting applications. Additionally, in regions where H.264 intracoding outperforms Wyner-Ziv coding, the system automatically switches to intracoding mode in order to improve the overall performance. Simulations results show a significant gain in the average PSNR that can reach 3 dB compared to pure H.264 intracoding, and 0.8 dB compared to fixed-GOP Wyner-Ziv coding.
