Efficient hybrid video coders with spatial and temporal scalability
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper deals with an efficient coder structure being appropriate for scalable coding of video. The coder consists of two motion-compensated hybrid coders with independent motion estimation and compensation. The structure implements spatial scalability or mixed spatial and temporal scalability that can be combined with fine granular SNR scalability. The encoder exhibits extended capabilities of adaptation to network throughput. The MPEG-2 and H.263 video coding standards are used as a reference but the results are also applicable to the MPEG-4 and H.26L systems with minor modifications. The coder exhibits high level of compatibility with standard H.263 and MPEG 2/4 coders.

Fine granularity in multi-loop hybrid coders with multi-layer scalability
The paper describes a generic multi-loop coder structure suitable for mixed spatial and temporal scalability combined with fine granular SNR scalability. The structure is suitable for various variants of hybrid video coders like MPEG-2, H.263 and H.26L. The idea of mixed spatial and temporal scalability i.e. spatiotemporal scalability is substantial for the proposal. Its application allows impr...
متن کاملJPEG2000-Compatible Scalable Scheme for Wavelet-Based Video Coding
We present a simple yet efficient scalable scheme for wavelet-based video coders, able to provide on-demand spatial, temporal, and SNR scalability, and fully compatible with the still-image coding standard JPEG2000. Whereas hybrid video coders must undergo significant changes in order to support scalability, our coder only requires a specific wavelet filter for temporal analysis, as well as an ...
متن کاملMultiresolutional encoding and decoding in embedded image and video coders
We address multiresolutional encoding and decoding within the embedded zerotree wavelet (EZW) framework for both images 1, 2] and video 3]. By varying a resolution parameter, a user can obtain decoded images at diierent resolutions from one single encoded bitstream, which is already rate scalable for EZW coders. Similarly he/she can decode video sequences at diierent rate and diierent spatial a...
متن کاملScalable MPEG video coding with improved B-frame prediction
Recently, there is a great interest in video codecs that implement the functionality of spatial scalability. Unfortunately, those MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 coders which exhibit such a functionality produce much more bits than corresponding single layer coders. This bitrate overhead can be reduced by application of spatio-temporal scalability as proposed by the authors. The base layer bitstream correspo...
متن کاملReduced complexity spatio-temporal scalable motion compensated wavelet video encoding
Motion compensated wavelet (MC-Wavelet) video coding provides high coding efficiency and robustness along with spatio-temporal-SNR-complexity scalability. Such schemes use a multi-resolution motion compensated temporal filtering (MCTF) decomposition along with the spatial wavelet transform to remove video redundancy. These multi-resolution transforms partition the spatiotemporal sequence-volume...
