Spatial compression and reconstruction of digital video stream using morphological filters

Data compression plays a vital role in various video processing applications. Basically video compression is implemented in a video stream frame by frame. Live video processing is a cumbersome task which usually reduces the video transmission rate. So, multimedia data transmission is carried out using suitable hardware modems. The question that arises here is that whether it is possible to achieve live video transmission in a compressed mode without causing loss in data and transmission rate. This paper addresses this problem and proposes a universal coder decoder procedure called UCODEC. Subsampling of video frames and their morphological processing are shown to be very effective for video compression, transmission and reconstruction.
