Video Compression using Group Testing Entropy Coding of Bit Planes
by
Jeff West
Digital video is changing the way people their lives; entertainment, news,
and business events are all assisted by the use of digital media.
Unfortunately this digital media is frequently limited in size by storage
devices or bandwidth, requiring it to be compressed. Group testing is
a data compression technique that enables data to be compressed
efficiently one bit plane at a time. The i-th bit plane is all the
binary data that makes up the i-th significant bits of a set of integer
data. We discuss the
advantages of using Group Testing to progressively compress video, with
the potential for constant rate per frame coding.
Comparisons will be made between
Group Testing for Video and other encoders (including MPEG and H.26*).
