AN OVERVIEW OF VIDEO CODING TECHNIQUES

Abstract

An update review of the advances in data compression of video signals is presented with the focus being on schemes best suited for telemetry applications. Several important features for image compression are addressed which serve as guidelines in the design of data compression schemes for custom specific applications. In accordance with this list of distinguishing attributes, a classification of existing compression algorithms is attempted. Two major classes of encoding techniques, transform and predictive encoding, are treated in thorough detail.
