Abstract

This paper presents a novel algorithm for content adaptive GOP size control in distributed video coding. The GOP size is dynamically varied along the sequence, depending on motion activity. Automatic mode selection allows the system to switch between H.264 intra-coding and Wyner-Ziv coding modes to optimize the overall performance. Furthermore, the encoder determines a suitable compression ratio for the Wyner-Ziv frames without the need for a feedback channel. Simulation results show significant improvement in the average system performance, compared to fixed GOP Wyner-Ziv and H.264 intra-coding.
