Analysis and improvements to the object based video encoder MPEG 4 part 25

Object based video representation and coding promises to keep the largest amount of scene information during video transmission and processing, at least for animated video. We compare traditional H.264 encoded video material with uncoded object based video, and also with coded object based video using different settings for both representations. For the only available object based codec, MPEG 4 pt. 25, significant improvements and results for coding examples are presented.
