Abstract: A new approach of Motion-Compensated JPEG2000 (MCJ2K) video compression is proposed in this paper. It uses simplified MPEG-2 fundamentals along with JPEG2000 encoding for compression of the image frames. MCJ2K generates differential images using motion compensation algorithms and store the motion vectors in a customised header. The images are then compressed using JPEG2000 based scheme. MCJ2K have been studied on QCIF and CIF formated videos for various rate control mechanism. The proposed scheme produced encouraging results compared to standard MPEG-2 and MJPEG2000 schemes, especially at higher bit rates.

Keywords: video compression; JPEG2000; MJPEG2000; motion compensation; motion vectors; rate control; JPEG.
