A signal adaptive diffusion filter for video coding: Mathematical framework and complexity reductions

作者:

Highlights:

• Novel iterative prediction filter methods are constructed for video compression.

• Two types of diffusion filters are introduced: a uniform and a signal adaptive one.

• The presented method achieves average bitrate savings of 2.27% for Random Access.

• The coding complexity is reduced by up to 70% while maintaining over 80% of the gain.

• For individual test sequences, results of 7.36% for Random Access are accomplished.
