High efficiency coder and method employing overlapped motion compensation and perfect reconstruction filter banks

摘要

Our overlapped motion compensation unit and method, which is a motion compensation mechanism employing an overlapped block structure, minimize blocking effects prevalent in convention motion compensation. Our overlapped motion compensation unit and method are implemented on the basis of analysis/synthesis filter banks employed for coding resulting in compatibility between the block structure used for motion compensation and for coding. Our encoder, decoder, and coding method employ our novel overlapped motion compensation technique in combination with analysis/synthesis filter banks such as LOT to achieve improvements in coding efficiency and image quality above that of conventional image coders and coding methods. Specifically, in our encoder, decoder, and coding method, blocking effects prevalent in coders employing conventional motion compensation techniques and discrete cosine transforms are minimized and coding efficiency and image quality are maximized.
