Abstract: In this work, a novel motion compensated spatio-temporal filter (MCSTF) is proposed for scalable video coding. MCSTF is an alternative technique of existing motion-compensated temporal filtering (MCTF), a fundamental component for scalable video coding in next generation. MCSTF is a non-separable sub-sampling version of MCTF and provides interlaced pictures as intermediate video sequence by using a spatio-temporal split process. Furthermore,the 1/3-transform structure, which excludes the liftingupdate- step, significantly suppresses the PSNR fluctuation which occurs in the existing MCTF technique. Our proposed system has an advantage of suppressing PSNR fluctuation with almost the same average PSNR as that of existing MCTF. In this paper, two types of sub-sampling lattice are investigated: the verticaltemporal (VT) quincunx and face-centered orthorhombic (FCO) lattices. Some experimental results with entropy coded scalar quantization show the significance of our proposed technique.
