Real-time decoding and display of structured video

Structured (or model-based or analysis-synthesis) video refers to the representation of moving scenes in terms of component parts which are assembled according to scripting information to produce images for viewing. This sort of representation has advantages for both compression and interactivity. We describe a software implementation on a data-flow computer system which renders and composites two- and three-dimensional moving objects for display of compressed real and synthetic scenes.<
