와이너 지브 비디오 압축에서의 비트 플레인 상관관계를 이용한 고속 LDPC 복호 방법

Abstract

Although Wyner-Ziv (WZ) video coding proves useful for applications employing encoders having restricted computing resources, the WZ decoder has a problem of excessive decoding complexity. It is mainly due to its iterative LDPC channel decoding process which repeatedly requests incremental parity data after iterative channel decoding of parity data received at each request. In order to solve the complexity problem, we divide bit planes into two groups and estimate the minimum required number of parity requests separately for the two groups of bit planes using bit plane correlation. The WZ decoder executes the iterative decoding process only after receiving parity data corresponding to the estimated minimum number of parity requests. The proposed method saves about 71% of the computing time in the LDPC decoding process.
