Joint source/channel coding for multiple video sequences with JPEG2000

Summary form only given. In this work, we extend the methods of (Z. Wu et al, Proc. IEEE Global Telecom. Conf. (Globecom), 2004) to video coding. The proposed algorithm considers the transmission of one or more motion JPEG2000 (MJP2) coded video sequence(s) over a constant bit rate channel. Rate distortion diversity over several dimensions is exploited. This work demonstrates that by minimizing the expected overall distortion at the receiver, both improved average quality of the frames (quality multiplexing gain), as well as more uniform quality across the frames (variance multiplexing gain) can be achieved. Experimental results illustrate the efficiency of the proposed methods.
