To　save　bit-rate,　texture　synthesis　can　be　employed　in　video　coding　to　generate　similar　texture　instead　of　encoding　the　texture　region.　Without　mean　squared　error　(MSE)　as　the　distortion　criterion,　high　quality　but　different　texture　can　be　synthesized　with　few　bits.　One　key　problem　that　embarrasses　the　application　of　texture　synthesis　in　video　coding　is　the　annoying　artifacts.　In　this　paper,　we　describe　a　new　synthetic　region　selection　strategy　which　can　simultaneously　save　bit-rate　and　avoid　the　annoying　artifacts.　Our　method　is　based　on　low　frequency　consistent.　That　is,　a　low　resolution　version　of　video　sequence　is　coded　and　sent　to　the　decoder　side,　and　the　texture　synthesizer　should　strictly　accord　with　the　decoded　low　resolution　picture.　In　the　high　resolution　layer,　structure　and　sampler　blocks　are　identified　and　encoded　using　MSE　as　the　distortion　criterion.　We　implement　our　scheme　in　JSVM　and　the　bit-rate　saving　account　to　18%　compared　with　SVC　with　the　same　subjective　quality.　©　2009　Springer-Verlag.
