A video coding algorithm based on intraframe and interframe joint prediction of wavelet coefficients

A novel video coding algorithm based on intraframe and interframe joint prediction in the wavelet domain is described in this paper. We propose a BZT (block zero tree) coding scheme that represents the position of the zero coefficients block efficiently. For the nonzero coefficients block, temporal redundancy is removed using multiresolution motion estimation (MRME). The proposed algorithm improves the coding performance significantly over the baseline MRME technique. In addition, the computational complexity is further reduced
