Zero-block prediction has been shown to be an effective way to reduce
complexity in block-based, motion-compensated DCT coders, such as
H.263. A challenging question is how to determining accurate
predictors for these blocks, while simultaneously being simple to
compute. This talk is work-in-progress and specifially looks at the
properties of blocks which show no change between frames. We will
show that an analysis of unchanging blocks adds insight into the
greater problem of zero-block detection.
