Disclosed is an encoder for encoding a video sequence comprising consecutive frames into a bit stream, a method for encoding a video sequence comprising consecutive frames into a bit stream, a decoder for decoding a bit stream in order to reconstruct a video sequence comprising consecutive frames and a method for decoding a bit stream in order to reconstruct a video sequence comprising consecutive frames.

Wavelet-based encoding of a video sequence and wavelet-based decoding of a bit stream

There is disclosed an encoder, a decoder, related methods, and non-transitory storage units storing instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform the methods. At an encoder (), after a spatial transformation stage (), there is obtained a spatially transformed version () of input image information () having multiple bands and, for each band, multiple transform band coefficients. After the generation of precincts (), each comprising transform coefficients covering a predetermined spatial area of the input image information (), there is provided a component transformation stage (), to apply one component transformation (CTr) selected () out of a plurality of predetermined component transformations, to each band (') of each precinct (). Hence, there is obtained a spatially transformed and color transformed version () of the input image information (), which is subsequently quantized and entropy encoded.

Encoder, decoder and related methods

An apparatus for decoding a sequence of pictures from a data stream is configured for decoding a picture of the sequence by deriving a residual transform signal of the picture from the data stream; combining a residual transform signal with a buffered transform signal approximation of a previous picture of the sequence so as to obtain a transform signal representing the picture, the transform signal having a plurality of transform coefficients; and subjecting the transform signal to a spectral-to-spatial transformation. The apparatus is configured for deriving the buffered transform signal approximation from a further transform signal representing the previous picture so that the buffered transform signal approximation has approximations of further transform coefficients of the further transform signal.
