A matching pursuit enhanced three-dimensional wavelet transform coder

This paper presents a video coding approach that is based on a motion compensated three-dimensional wavelet transform, bitplane context based entropy coding with prescanning and matching pursuit approximation of temporal high frequency subbands. This approach to video coding is novel despite of the fact it is a mixture of existing techniques. Experimental results reveal its high competitiveness when compared to the existing MPEG-2 video compression standard.
