Abstract
Video Compression is essential for Multi-Media Communication. Without the use of video compression, it is nearly impossible to provide fast transmission of Video over the Internet. The MPEG coding standard is becoming widely used in digital video applications such as DVD and HDTV. In this project report, I have discussed the basics of Video compression and different algorithms available for video compression including the MPEG (Moving Picture Expert Group) Compression standard in detail. In this project, I have implemented an algorithm for the generation of I-frame, B-frame and P-frame and few steps of image compression (DCT and Quantization) as part of video compression flow of MPEG-I standard using MATLAB and on TI’s Video development Platform TMS320DM6437 DVDP. In addition, I also captured some video images from the camera, and compressed/decompressed the video I frames, B frames, and P frames. I performed DCT and quantization steps. The design was implemented in MATLAB and in C language, which is then successfully implemented on TI’s Video Development Platform.
