Abstract

The Multidimensional Multiscale Parser (MMP) algorithm has been proposed recently as a universal data coding method. MMP has proved to be a very powerful coding method for images, as for other types of signals. Experimental tests showed that MMP is able to achieve better results than the traditional transform-based image coding methods, particularly for images that do not have a low-pass nature. These promising results motivated the use of MMP for residual error encoding in hybrid video coding algorithms. This paper presents the first results of these experiments, performed using a H.264/AVC based video encoder, but using MMP to encode the motion compensated residual data, for the P and B slices. Experimental results show that, even in this not fully optimised version, this method is able to achieve an approximately equivalent performance to the H.264/AVC. This demonstrates that MMP is an alternative to the transform-quantisation paradigm for hybrid video coding that is worth investigating.
