Abstract

In this paper we present a low complexity video coder working on the principle of distributed source coding that combines the principle of channel coding with source coding. In this work the encoder complexity is shifted to the decoder to support uplink friendly video applications, simultaneously achieving the rate-distortion performance of the conventional predictive coding system. In this work concept of syndrome coding with Golay codes is adopted for compression. The simulation results presented in this paper reveals the superior performance of this distributed video coder over the Intraframe coders in terms of rate distortion performance, simultaneously achieving low complexity when compared to predictive coders.
