Abstract

This paper presents a lossless video compression system based on a novel Backward Adaptive pixel-based fast Predictive Motion Estimation (BAPME). Unlike the widely used block-matching motion estimation techniques, this scheme predicts the motion on a pixel-by-pixel basis by comparing a group of past observed pixels between two adjacent frames, eliminating the need of transmitting side information. Combined with prediction and a fast search technique, the proposed algorithm achieves better entropy results and significant reduction in computation than pixel-based full search for a set of standard test sequences. Experimental results also show that BAPME outperforms block-based full search in terms of speed and entropy. We also provide the sub-pixel version of BAPME as well as integrate BAPME in a complete lossless video compression system. The experimental results are superior to the selected state-of-the-art schemes.
