Research Interests

Current displacement compensated predictive coding schemes often fail to recognize the non-trivial, time-varying correlation between the residual signal and predicted signal for practical images. The effect of this shortcoming is magnified in the coding of generalized video signals, where the number of bits available for coding the residual images is often severely constrained. My research attempts to develop scalable concepts for the predictive coding of generalized video signals that make better use of the predicted signal to reproduce the original images with the minimal amount of information. This work has lead to the development of a new class of predictive coding techniques, called restoration based coding, that is scalable to multiple predictions and capable of exploiting all correlations available at the both the encoder and decoder.
