Abstract
A video coding scheme based on wavelet representation performs motion compensation in the wavelet domain rather than spatial domain. This inter-frame wavelet transform coding scheme preferably uses a variable-size multi-resolution motion compensation (MRMC) prediction scheme. The MRMC scheme produces displaced residual wavelets (DRWs). An optimal bit allocation algorithm produces a bit map for each DRW, and each DRW is then adaptively quantized with its respective bit map. Each quantized DRW is then coded into a bit stream.
