Perception-oriented video coding based on texture analysis and synthesis

Perception-oriented video coding based on texture analysis and synthesis has gained importance over the past few years. Hence, the present paper overviews a selection of related approaches that have been proposed over the past decades. They are also referred to as content-based video coding (CBVC) methods in this paper. For better insight into CBVC, an overview on texture analysis and synthesis is also given. Furthermore, the principles common to a careful selection of CBVC methods are depicted and the requirements of each of the fundamental modules are extensively discussed in the context of the limitations of state-of-the-art hybrid video codecs like H.264/AVC.
