Spatially Scalable Video Coding For HEVC

Image segmentation approach for realizing zoomable streaming HEVC video

“…The tests performed during the standardization process show that HEVC may compress at half the bit-rate of H.264 with the same visual quality [18], at the expense of a higher complexity. Further extensions to HEVC [2] are scalable video coding (SVC) [35][36][37], 3D video/multiview video coding [38,39] and range extensions which include screen content coding [40,41], bit depths larger than 10 bits and color sampling of 4:2:2 and 4:4:4. Screen content coding in general refers to computer generated objects and screen shots from computer applications (both images and videos) and may require lossless coding.…”

A New Transcoding Scheme for Scalable Video Coding to H.264/AVC

“…In addition to FDR, just a few researches have been made on SVC to H.264/AVC transcoding. Cascade [1] is one of them. It has reduced computation complexity quite a lot with probably sacrificing the quality of transcoded streams.…”

“…Scalable Video Coding (SVC), as the scalable extension of H.264/AVC, has been recently approved to be much more complicated for both encoder and decoder devices. According to recent research [1] , scalable video coding is one of trends for video coding in the near future. However the number of decoder equipments is much larger than encoders.…”

Depth Partitioning and Coding Mode Selection Statistical Analysis for SHVC

“…SHVC was proposed as a scalable extension of the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard [1]. Besides, several solutions were suggested to respond to the proposed scalable extension [2,3,4]. The scalable extension was developed [5] by the Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding (JCT-VC) of ITU-T SG 16 WP 3 and ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29/WG 11.…”
