MPEG Compression Using MATLAB

Abstract Video is nowadays much more than an instrument of leisure. It is used in fields like Medicine and Security in which it demands both quality and manageability. Compression plays here a key role: a good compression should supply easy storage and transmission without lost of information. Many methods have been developed and some standards published to ensure the compatibility between systems Multimedia applications would beneficiate of the handiness and the efficiency of compression would be definitely increased. Mixtures and combinations of different techniques partially based in the video content are blend but the indications of the standard strictly speaking are not followed. In this project, an overview of video compression and its state of the art is first given, followed by an extended description of Object-based encoding steps. An implementation of an encoder with MatLab is then provided as a didactical approach to the problem.
