Efficient reconstruction scheme for transform domain Wyner-Ziv video coding

To minimize the errors of the reconstructed values and improve the quality of decoded image, an efficient reconstruction scheme for transform domain Wyner-Ziv (WZ) video coding is proposed. The reconstruction scheme exploits temporal correlation of the coefficient bands, the WZ decoded bits stream and the side information efficiently. When side information is outside the decoded quantization bin, the reconstructed value is derived using expectation of the WZ decoded bit stream and the side information. When side information is within the decoded quantization bin, the reconstructed value is derived using the biased predictor. Simulation results show that the proposed reconstruction scheme gains up to 1.32 dB compared with the commonly used boundary reconstruction scheme at the same bit rates and similar computation cost.
