ABSTRACT
Distributed Source Coding (DSC), has been recently
attracting a lot of attention from the video coding
community, since it could prove very well suited for some
applications where low-complexity encoders are a must.
In order to understand how DSC can help these new
applications, this paper quickly summarizes its
theoretical bases and reviews the current state of the art
for the particular but important case of Distributed Video
Coding (DVC). Furthermore, a model-based enhanced
approach to the DVC problem is presented that can be
used when focusing on videoconference applications. The
main novelty of this approach is the improvement of the
