Distributed video coding deals with exploring the source statistics of a video sequence at the decoder side instead of at the encoder such as in the traditional video coding.
Introduction
Today’s digital video coding paradigm mainly relies on a hybrid of block-based transform and inter-frame predictive coding approaches. In this kind of architectures, the encoder has the computationally complex task of exploiting both the temporal and spatial redundancies inherent in the video sequence; leaving a simpler decoding procedure, which only consists of “executing” the encoder’s orders. In order to exploit those spatial and temporal correlations, the encoder requires a higher computational complexity than the decoder (typically 5–10 times more complex), mainly due to the motion estimation task. Distributed video coding (DVC) offers a dramatic structural change to video coding by shifting some of the complexity residing in the encoder...
