Abstract

High definition (HD) video can provide video communication which is as crisp and sharp as face-to-face communication. Wearable video equipment also provide the user with mobility; the freedom to move. HD video requires high bandwidth and yields high encoding and decoding complexity when encoding based on DCT and motion estimation is used. We propose a solution that can drastically lower the bandwidth and complexity for video transmission. Asymmetrical principal component analysis can initially encode HD video into bitrates which are low considering the type of video (
