Abstract

This lecture overviews Transform Video Compression  that has many applications in digital TV broadcasting, videoconferencing, video streaming and social media.  It covers the following topics in detail: Spatiotemporal signal redundancy in video compression. Intraframe video coding (I-frames). Interframe video coding (P-, B-frames). Transform Video Coding (Block-based video coding, Discrete Cosine Transform, DCT Coefficient Quantization, Zig-zag scanning, Variable Length Coding). Predictive coding. MPEG2 and MPEG4 compression standards.

MPEG2 stream structure.
