Abstract :
In this paper, we summarize several encoding tools that were introduced by the video group of the MPEG-4 committee. The review the key features of these algorithms. The original proposers in the MPEG-4 committee have implemented these algorithms in the reference software. We used the most recent reference software to generate a sample set of results. A profiling was performed on a Pentium 233 MHz PC to understand the complexity aspect of an MPEG-4 encoder
