ESVD: An Integrated Energy Scalable Framework for Low-Power Video Decoding Systems

Abstract

Video applications using mobile wireless devices are a challenging task due to the limited capacity of batteries. The higher complex functionality of video decoding needs high resource requirements. Thus, power efficient control has become more critical design with devices integrating complex video processing techniques. Previous works on power efficient control in video decoding systems often aim at the low complexity design and not explicitly consider the scalable impact of subfunctions in decoding process, and seldom consider the relationship with the features of compressed video date. This paper is dedicated to developing an energyscalable video decoding (ESVD) strategy for energy-limited mobile terminals. First, ESVE can dynamically adapt the variable energy resources due to the device aware technique. Second, ESVD combines the decoder control with decoded data, through classifying the data into different partition profiles according to its characteristics. Third, it introduces utility theoretical analysis during the resource allocation process, so as to maximize the resource utilization. Finally, it adapts the energy resource as different energy budget and generates the scalable video decoding output under energy-limited systems. Experimental results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach.

Genetic algorithm‐based routing method for enhanced video delivery over software defined networks

“…The retrieved NALUs are decoded to YUV video by JSVM Decoder . Different video decoding schemes such as might be used in the near future to maximize the video decoding quality when playing on portable terminals. Finally, for computing PSNR, Frame‐Filler is used to conceal the missing frames by copying the previous frame.…”

Optimal complexity scalable H.264/AVC video decoding scheme for portable multimedia devices

“…In this approach, the encoder sends complexity information about the loop filter and interpolation filter to the decoder for the complexity control. Meanwhile, Ji et al 5 developed an energy scalable video decoding strategy for multimedia devices. Lee et al 6 also worked towards complexity scalability by controlling the complexity of motion compensation and of the deblocking filter.…”
