Model-based image coding advanced video coding techniques for very low bit-rate applications

Abstract

The paper gives an overview of model-based approaches applied to image coding, by looking at image source models. In these model-based schemes, which are different from the various conventional waveform coding methods, the 3-D properties of the scenes are taken into consideration. They can achieve very low bit rate image transmission. The 2-D model and 3-D model based approaches are explained. Among them, a 3-D model based method using a 3-D facial model and a 2-D model based method utilizing 2-D deformable triangular patches are described. Works related to 3-D model-based coding of facial images and some of the remaining problems are also described.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
