In typical MC-DCT compression algorithms, up to 90% of the available bit rate is used to encode the location and amplitude information of the nonzero quantized DCT coefficients. Therefore, efficient encoding of the location and amplitude information is extremely important for high quality video compression. In this paper we describe the position-dependent encoding (PDE) approach for encoding the DCT coefficients. This method attempts to exploit the inherent differences in statistical properties of the run-lengths and amplitudes as a function of position. This paper includes preliminary comparisons between the PDE scheme and conventional coding approaches. The PDE approach can be applied in any transform/subband filtering scheme for image or video compression. >
