In this paper, the pixel domain heterogeneous video transcoder proposed by the authors in Shanableh and Ghanabari (IEEE Trans. Multimedia 2(2) (2000) 101) is implemented in the DCT domain. Consequently, the motion compensation (MC) and its inverse and the image down-sampling functions of the pixel d

โฆ Synopsis
Video transcoding is a key technology to support video communications over heterogeneous networks. Although quite a bit of research effort has been made in video transcoding due to its wide applications, most video transcoding techniques proposed in the literature are optimized based on the simple mean squared error (MSE) metric which does not correlate well with the human visual perception. In this paper, foveation, a property of the HVS, is exploited in video transcoding. The proposed foveation embedded DCT domain video transcoding can reduce the bit rate without compromising visual quality or achieve better subjective quality for a given bit rate by shaping the compression distortion according to the foveated contrast sensitivity function of the HVS. In addition, fast algorithms for video foveation filtering and DCT domain inverse motion compensation are developed, which significantly improve the efficiency of video transcoding.

In this paper, we propose a content-based moving picture expert group transcoding method using a discontinuity feature in the discrete cosine transform (DCT) domain. A DCT block is transcoded differently depending on the height of dominant discontinuity within a block. In the experiment, we show the
