Downsampling and inverse motion compensation are performed on compressed domain representations for video. By directly manipulating the compressed domain representation instead of the spatial domain representation, computational complexity is significantly reduced. For downsampling, the compressed stream is processed in the compressed (DCT) domain without explicit decompression and spatial domain downsampling so that the resulting compressed stream corresponds to a scaled down image, ensuring that the resulting compressed stream conforms to the standard syntax of 8 x 8 DCT matrices. For typical data sets, this approach of downsampling in the compressed domain results in computation savings around 80 % compared with traditional spatial domain methods for downsampling from compressed data. For inverse motion compensation, motion compensated compressed video is converted into a sequence of DCT domain blocks corresponding to the spatial domain blocks in the current picture alone. By performing inverse motion compensation directly in the compressed domain, the reduction in computation complexity is around 68 % compared with traditional spatial domain methods for inverse motion compensation from compressed data. The techniques for downsampling and inverse motion compensation can be used in a variety of applications, such as multipoint video conferencing and video editing. <IMAGE> |
