REQUEST BITS ESTIMATION FOR A WYNER-ZIV CODEC

摘要

Request bits estimation for a Wyner-Ziv codec is described. In one aspect, and prior to communicating Wyner-Ziv parity bits to a Wyner-Ziv decoder, an estimated total number of parity bits to send to the Wyner-Ziv decoder are determined. This estimated number of parity bits allows the Wyner-Ziv decoder to reconstruct a frame of different coded content using the Wyner-Ziv parity bits such that the reconstructed frame will meet particular quality criteria. This estimated number of parity bits is determined independent of a request-bits feedback loop between the Wyner-Ziv coder and the Wyner-Ziv decoder. The estimated number of parity bits is communicated to the Wyner-Ziv decoder for reconstruction and presentation of the frame to a user.
