"A Survey on Scalable Video Coding"

By Mr. Huihui Li


Abstract:

With the emergence of wireless networks and increasing demand of
multimedia information on the Internet, scalable video coding techniques
will play more and more important roles in video transmission. In this
paper, we first introduce traditional scalable video coding methods such
as SNR, spatial, temporal scalabilities to illustrate the basic features
of layered video stream. However, those traditional scalable coding
techniques are all coarse granularity, to meet more flexible network
requirements, fine granularity scalability (FGS) is introduced. We analyze
the advantage as well as recent development (PFGS) of FGS. In addition, we
identify some possible future research directions that may improve the
performance of scalable video coding methods.
