Wyner-Ziv Coding with Multiple Side Information

A method for video coding, comprising:

• encoding and decoding a key frame of a source video content;
• encoding bits of a Wyner-Ziv frame of the source video content;
• communicating the encoded Wyner-Ziv bits to a decoder for decoding;
• providing a first side information and a second side information to the decoder;
• decoding, by the decoder, the encoded bits of the Wyner-Ziv frame using a probability model which computes a decoding path interval probability in view of the first side information and the second side information, wherein the first side information and the second side information each contribute to the decoding path interval probability at least partially separately;
• and
• reconstructing the Wyner-Ziv frame using the decoded Wyner-Ziv bits for user presentation with the decoded key frame.

A computer-readable medium comprising computer-program instructions executable by a processor, when executed the computer-program instructions causing a video decoding system to perform operations comprising:

• receiving coded Wyner-Ziv bits of a Wyner-Ziv frame of a source video content;
• receiving multiple side information including at least a first side information and a second side information;
• and
• decoding the coded Wyner-Ziv bits in view of the first side information and the second side information, wherein the first side information and the second side information each contribute to the decoding at least partially separately.
