Rate constrained multiresolution transmission of video

Multiresolution transmission of compressed video is performed using subbands. Multistage quantization is necessary for efficient embedded video transmission on rate constrained channels. This paper investigates the performance of a number of multistage scalar quantization techniques: concatenated coding, conditional entropy coding and conditional quantization. Intraframe as well as interframe coding approaches are investigated with these multistage quantization techniques on high definition and standard definition source material.<
