Modifying the Turbo Decoder for DVC over Wireless Channels
Summary :
Distributed Video Coding (DVC) is an emerging video coding approach, particularly attractive due to its flexibility to implement low complex encoders. This feature could be very effectively utilized in a number of video sensor based application scenarios. However, DVC is still in the process of development and currently available codec implementations are based on a number of hypothetical models and assumptions. In DVC, the effects of noise and fading on the compressed payload (parity bit stream) in real video communications and the resultant modified channel model scenario have not been discussed in literature. In this paper, a solution to the above problem in turbo coding based DVC is discussed incorporating a novel dual channel model for the maximum a-posteriori (MAP) algorithm for turbo decoding. The simulations for AWGN and wireless channels at different group of picture (GOP) sizes show that the proposed algorithm improves the rate distortion performance compared to the existing decoding algorithm. It also outperforms the H.264/AVC I-P-I-P codec (v10.1/baseline profile); particularly at low Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) levels of the channel, thus enabling DVC as a viable and efficient option for video communications.
