An Optimal Switched Adaptive Prediction Method for Lossless Video Coding

In this work, we propose a method of lossless video coding which not has only the decoder simple but encoder is also simple, unlike other reported methods which has computationally complex encoder. The computation is mainly due to not using motion compensation method, which is computationally complex process. The coefficient of the predictors are obtained based on an averaging process and then the thus obtained set of switched predictors is used for prediction. The parameters have been obtained after undergoing a statistical process of averaging so that proper relationship can be established between the predicted pixel and their context.
