Distributed Encoder and Decoder for H.264

Abstract

This project using H.264 for distributed encoder and decoder, that will be implement using parallel computing . This is techniques for video compression starting from basic concepts. The rate-distortion performance of modern video compression schemes is the result of an interaction between motion representation techniques, intra-picture prediction techniques, waveform coding of differences, and waveform coding of various refreshed regions. The project starts with an explanation of the basic concepts of video codec design and then explains how these various features have been integrated into international standards, up to and including the most recent such standard, known as H.264. This project is implemented by using the CABAC algorithm and for parallel computing using the beowulf cluster .First part of the project is implementation of H.264 systems on parallel machine. The same set up will be later tested with 8 core processor.
