Abstract(in English) To improve subjective image quality, preferred ROI(Region of Interest) coding has widely been studied. However, in mobile multimedia communication systems, it is very expensive to extract ROI from each video frames. In this paper, we employ MIPEG-4 video object coding to realize preferred ROI coding, ROI object is encoded at high-quality to improve subjective video quality and background region is encoded at low-quality to improve coding efficiency. Here, we use ROI tracking method and simplified ROI shape coding to improve coding efficiency and reduce tracking difficulty. Simulation results show that block coding of ROI shape can improve coding efficiency, and results of subjective validation test show that it does not disturb reconstructed video quality.
