A critically sampled wavelet transform is applied to the AROS and a modified 3-D set partitioning in hierarchical trees (SPIHT) algorithm is used to quantize and code the wavelet coefficients in the AROS only. Experiments show that, for typical MPEG-4 pre-segmented sequences, our proposed method can achieve a gain of up to 5.6 dB in average PSNR at the same rate over 3-D SPIHT coding of regular volumes that embed the AROS of the given video sequences.}, publisher = {IEEE}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/3-d-wavelet-coding-of-video-with-arbitrary-regions-of-support/}, journal = {IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology}, }
