Intro
The method described is an almost universal bit-efficient video compressing approach that can be used in various coding applications. The main goal is to reconstruct images in high quality by using a universal image coder with easy bit-level access. The idea is to search for unsteady regions in the image and to approximate the stationary regions separately and combining both of them.
