Adaptive Linear Predictive Coding of Time-varying Images Using Multidimensional Recursive Least-squares Ladder Filters

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper presents several adaptive linear predictive coding techniques based upon extension of recursive ladder filters. A 2-D recursive ladder filter is extended to a 3-D case which can adaptively track the variation of both spatial and temporal changes of moving images. Using the 2-D/3-D ladder filter and a previous farme predictor, two types of adaptive predictor-control schemes are proposed in which the prediction error at each pel can be obtained at or close to a minimum level. We also investigate several modifications of the basic encoding methods. Performance of the 2-D/3-D ladder filters, their adaptive control schemes, and variations in coding methods are evaluated by computer simulations on a real sequence and compared to the results of motion compensation and frame differential coders. As a validity test of the ladder filters developed, the error signals for the different predictors are compared and evaluated.
