Submitted to ICIP ’ 97 MULTIPLEXING VBR VIDEO SEQUENCES ONTO A CBR CHANNEL WITHLEXICOGRAPHIC
نویسنده
چکیده
We apply a novel lexicographic framework for bit allocation to the multiplexing of multiple VBR video streams onto a single CBR channel. In the lexico-graphic framework, the maximum distortion is minimized , then the second highest distortion, and so on, resulting in nearly constant quality. With a suitably constructed multiplexing model, we show that the mul-tiplexing problem reduces to a single-stream CBR bit allocation problem, to which we apply the lexicographic framework. This method has applications for video servers, especially for near-video-on-demand.

Joint control of MPEG VBR video over ATM networks
In video applications, digital encoding techniques are frequently associated to the use of compression algorithms. The rate of compression depends on the quality/bit rate requirements specific to each application. In TV broadcast/distribution applications, compression algorithms such as the MPEG2 standard allow economies in transmission bandwidth, while providing a service with a quality simila...
متن کاملMultiplexing Video Traffic Using Frame-skipping Aggregation Technique
MPEG, the Mowing Picture Experts Group, is a popular compression standard used in many multimedia applications. I n video distribution systems, a CBR communications channel is often shared among several VBR MPEG video streams. Since there are fluctuations of data rates an video streams, t ra f ic congestion may occur and video quality may he aflected. W e propose a frame-skipping aggregation te...
متن کاملAn ATM service architecture for the transport of adaptively encoded live video
The transport of high quality live video requires a video service that does not rely heavily upon accurate a priori traffic parameter estimation (as VBR does) and does not unnecessarily sacrifice multiplexing gain and visual quality (as CBR does). A new service capable of supporting the transport of video on a guaranteed as well as a best effort basis is introduced. This service, called quasi-V...
متن کاملStatistical Multiplexing and Quality of Service Control of VBR Mpeg Video Sources
In this paper efficient modeling of VBR MPEG coded video sources is proposed by appropriately combining properties of frame and GOP layer signals. In particular, a Markov chain is presented for modeling the video activity, the states of which correspond to correlated AR models responsible for generating the I, P and B frames. Furthermore, an adaptive implementation of the AR coefficients is acc...
متن کاملMultiplexing Gain of Capped VBR Video
CBR (Constant Bit Rate) video fluctuates in quality, while its multiplexing behaviour is easy to predict: the links can be loaded to almost 100%. VBR (Variable Bit Rate) video aims at constant quality, but as the bit rate fluctuates over time the links cannot be fully loaded. Because in unconstrained VBR video the bit rate fluctuation might be too large, capped VBR video is proposed as an alter...
