Abstract
Scaled video for pseudo-analog transmission in the spatial domain is described. Boundaries are determined for M L-shaped chunks of coefficients of at least one frequency-transformed video frame of a group of pictures (GOP). The boundaries are determined based at least on variances of the coefficients of the M L-shaped chunks, such as by reducing or minimizing the sum of the square roots of the variances of the coefficients. Corresponding power scale factors for the M L-shaped chunks are determined based at least partly on the variances of the coefficients of the M L-shaped chunks, and the coefficients of the M L-shaped chunks are scaled using the corresponding power scale factors. The pixel values of the frames (e.g., the frames in the spatial domain) are transmitted on a pseudo-analog channel. At the receiver, retained spatial redundancy enables denoising in the spatial domain prior to de-scaling in the frequency domain.
