Lightweight real-time decoding of video on J2ME devices

This paper presents a video coding and decoding technique based on vector quantization. The objective is to develop a lightweight, efficient and real-time video decoder able to decode in real-time several video streams simultaneously, on low-end hardware. We show how to layout the output bitstream in order to facilitate decoding on highly constrained devices. Experiments show that it is possible to bring high quality, fullscreen rendering of concurrent video clips on devices that have very limited processing power.
