Abstract

Intra video coding is a common way to process video material for applications like professional video editing systems, digital cinema, video surveillance applications, multispectral satellite imaging, HQ video delivery, etc. Most practical intra coding systems employ JPEG encoders due to their simplicity, low coding delay and low memory requirements. JPEG2000 is the main candidate to replace JPEG in this kind of applications due to the excellent R/D performance and high coding flexibility. However, its complexity and computational resources required for proper operation could be a limitation for certain applications. In this work, we propose an intra video codec, M-LTW, which is able to reach very good R/D performance results, as well as JPEG2000 or H.264 INTRA, with faster processing and lower memory usage.
