Tensor is a multi-way representation of an entity that is widely used in many applications of mathematics and physics. The wide range of tensor algebra operations attract the researchers of graphical and vision field to identify unique methods for various applications such as segmentation, compression, indexing and so on. In this paper, low multi-linear rank approximation of a tensor is used for decomposition so as to perform compression on a video that is represented as a 4D tensor. Thus, the encoder has blocks for (1) multilinear rank approximation method so as to aid decomposition, (2) sparsity removal of residual data to reduce the required memory storage to a small level, (3) quantization on the sparse less residual data and (4) LZ77 dictionary coding for the video. The decoder uses a tensor reconstruction block along with residual error correction block that reduces loss/error in the reconstructed video. The size of core tensor is an important factor in rank approximation. It is identified at run time depending on the video contents. This size is determined adaptively using Tikhonov’s regularization method. The best value of core tensor size is identified with the corner of L-curve which preserves the video contents from heavy loss/error. Experimental results of the proposed work on comparison with H.264/AVC compression method indicate that the proposed method achieves up to 10% improvement in compression ratio with the least amount of loss and a maximum signal to noise ratio of 0.14. The proposed system gives better compression ratio than H.265 for videos with more number of frames without compromising quality.
