Estimating Decoding Times of MPEG-2 Video Streams

چکیده
This paper is motivated through the advantages offered by employing real-time (priority-driven) scheduling (RTS) for efficiently implementing quality-of-service guarantees. For employing RTS (e.g. for conferencing), a-priori knowledge about worst-case execution times (WCET) of the decoding process is required. With our new approach (focussing of MPEG 2 with variable bitrates) the resource usage compared to fixed-bandwidth allocation can be significantly decreased. Solutions for the WCET analysis are presented for two scenarios (Video-on-Demand (VoD), live-video). A significant reduction of overestimations during WCET analysis of the live scenario can be achieved by using our new technique. In a the VoD scenario it is even possible to predict the exact execution times.

Timing Constraints of MPEG-2 Decoding for High Quality Video: Misconceptions and Realistic Assumptions
Decoding MPEG-2 video streams imposes hard realtime constraints for consumer devices such as TV sets. The freedom of encoding choices provided by the MPEG-2 standard results in high variability inside streams, in particular with respect to frame structures and their sizes. In this paper, we identify realistic timing constraints demanded by MPEG-2 video decoding. We present results from a study ...

متن کاملSome Misconceptions about Temporal Constraints of MPEG-2 Video Decoding
In this paper, we present results from a study of realistic MPEG-2 video streams to analyze the validity of common assumptions for software decoding. Our analysis identifies a number of misconceptions. We present actual demands based on quality considerations and derive timing constraints for their decoding. We show that standard, fixed timing constraints are restrictive and flexible ones are b...
