MODEL-AIDED CODING USING 3-D SCENE MODELS IN MOTION-COMPENSA(4)

ICIP'2000, Vancouver, September 2000. We show that traditional waveform-coding and 3-D model-based coding are not competing alternatives but should be combined to support and complement each other. Both approaches are combined such that the generality of w
