Introduction Video signal has high temporal redundancies due to the high correlation between successive frames. Current video compression technics are not suitable for exploiting this redundancy. This paper presents a new video compression approach exploiting the temporal redundancy in the video frames.  improve compression efficiency  with minimum processing complexity

Introduction This paper consists on a 3D to 2D transformation of the video frames that allows  exploring the temporal redundancy.  avoiding the computational MC step. The transformation turns the spatial-temporal correlation into high spatial correlation.  e.g, transforms each group of pictures to one picture Decorrelation of the resulting pictures by the DCT  energy compaction  high video compression ratio

Introduction The proposed method is efficient especially in high bit rate and with slow motion video. The proposed method is suitable for  video surveillance applications  embedded video compression systems

Problem Motion estimation process is computationally intensive.  stored video applications.  off-line on powerful computers. Not appropriate to be implemented as a real-time for  video surveillance camera  fully digital video camera

Solution Improve compression efficiency  Temporal redundancies are more relevant than spatial one.  Exploiting more redundancies in the temporal domain can achieve more efficient compression. Minimize processing complexity  3D transform produces video compression ratio  close to the motion estimation based.  less complex processing.  exploit temporal redundancy.

3D-DCT coding method The 2D-DCT has the potential of easy extension into the third dimension.  e.g, 3D-DCT 3D-DCT includes the time as third dimension into the transformation and energy compaction process.

3D-DCT coding method In 3-D transform coding based on the DCT, the video is first divided into blocks of M N K pixels.  M : horizontal dimension  N : vertical dimension  K : temporal dimension Treat video as a succession of 3D blocks or video cubes.

3D-DCT coding method 3-D transform coding method  Advantage : 1. do not require the computationally intensive process of motion estimation.  Disadvantage : 1. requires K frame memories both at the encoder and decoder to buffer the frames.

3D-DCT coding method 3-D based coder v.s Motion compensated coder  3-D based coder :  high compression ratio  lower complexity The proposed method puts in priority the exploitation of temporal redundancy.  temporal is more important than spatial.

Proposed method Basic idea is to represent video data with high correlated form.  projecting temporal redundancy of each group of pictures into spatial domain.  Combining them with spatial redundancy in one representation with high spatial correlation.  The obtained representation will be compressed as still image with JPEG coder.

Proposed method The proposed method step :  input the video cube.  decompose into temporal frames.  gather into one big frame.  coding the obtained big frame.

Proposed method A. Hypothesis many experiences had proved that the variation is much less in the temporal dimension than the spatial one. pixels, in 3D video signal, are more correlated in temporal domain than in spatial one. Expression :
