Digital Video and Image Compression Techniques

The document discusses different digital video and image compression techniques. It describes standards like JPEG, which is used for still images, and MPEG, which is used for video. MPEG-1 was the first public video compression standard from MPEG and focused on efficiently coding video. MPEG-2 extended MPEG-1 to support higher quality video at the same or higher bitrates. MPEG-4 focused on new applications like mobile devices and supporting lower bandwidth video. MPEG-7 differs in that it describes multimedia content rather than encoding it.

Digital Video and Image

Compression Techniques
Compression

 Video compression technologies are about reducing


and removing redundant video data
 Digital video file can be effectively sent over a network
and stored on computer disks.
 This reduction in data translates to benefits such as
smaller storage requirements and lower transmission
bandwidth requirements, for a clip of video content.
Two basic standards: JPEG and MPEG

The two basic compression standards are JPEG and MPEG. In broad
terms, JPEG is associated with still digital pictures, whilst MPEG is
dedicated to digital video sequences.

The group of MPEG standards that include the MPEG 1, MPEG-2,


MPEG-4 and H.264 formats have some similarities, as well as some
notable differences.
The compression formats

 JPEG- The JPEG standard, is the single most widespread picture


compression format of today. It offers the flexibility to either select high
picture quality with fairly high compression ratio or to get a very high
compression ratio at the expense of a reasonable lower picture quality.
 If compression ratio is too high then there is a chance of blockiness in the
image.
The Compression Formats

 JPEG 2000 JPEG 2000 was created as the follow-up to the successful
JPEG compression, with better compression ratios. The basis was to
incorporate new advances in picture compression research into an
international standard. The advantage of JPEG 2000 is that the
blockiness gets removed but the image is little bit blurred.
Motion JPEG

 Motion JPEG A digital video sequence can be represented as a series


of JPEG pictures. The advantages are the same as with single still JPEG
pictures – flexibility both in terms of quality and compression ratio.
MPEG-1
 The first public standard of the MPEG committee was the MPEG-1
 It includes techniques for efficient coding of a video sequence
 In Motion JPEG/Motion JPEG 2000 each picture in the sequence is coded
as a separate unique picture resulting in the same sequence as the original
one.
 In MPEG video only the new parts of the video sequence is included
together with information of the moving parts.
 The data rate of MPEG – 1 was 1.2MBPS.
MPEG-2

 The MPEG-2 project focused on extending the compression


technique of MPEG-1 to cover larger pictures and higher
quality
 It also provides more advanced techniques to enhance the
video quality at the same bit-rate.
 The Data rate speed of MPEG 2 was from 1.2MBPS to 15MBPS.
MPEG-4

 The next generation of MPEG, MPEG-4, is based upon the same technique
as MPEG-1 and MPEG-2. Once again, the new standard focused on new
applications.
 The most important new features of MPEG-4, concerning video
compression are the support of even lower bandwidth consuming
applications, e.g. mobile devices
MPEG-7

 MPEG-7 is a different kind of standard as it is a multimedia content


description standard
 It does not deal with the actual encoding of moving pictures and
audio
 With MPEG-7, the content of the video is described and associated
with the content itself,
 Example to allow fast and efficient searching in the material.
