This paper reviews some recent advances in the video techniques such as video coding
video stream analysis
and video stream transportation etc. The survey clearly shows that while the standard compliant video coding is still attractive in application
new direction are wavelet/subband based video coding
and object oriented coding. The study on robust video transmission over IP and wireless network is the most challenging topic and of great importance. Besides
video stream analysis
image database technology and video watermark also possess bright application prospect. The paper also gives a brief introduction on the progresses and technical features of the newest standard H.26L of JVT.
