Abstract
In this paper, we propose a low bit-rate embedded video coding scheme that utilizes a threedimensional (3D) extension of the set partitioning in hierarchical trees (SPIHT) algorithm which has proved so successful in still image coding. Three-dimensional spatio-temporal orientation trees coupled with powerful SPIHT sorting and refinement renders 3D SPIHT video coder so efficient that it provides comparable performance to H.263 objectively and subjectively when operated at the bit-rates of 30 to 60 kilobits per second with minimal system complexity. Extension to color-embedded video coding is accomplished without explicit bit allocation, and can be used for any color plane representation. In addition to being rate scalable, the proposed video coder allows multiresolutional scalability in encoding and decoding in both time and space from one bit-stream. This added functionality along with many desirable attributes, such as full embeddedness for progressive transmission, precise ...
