Based on a quality weighted bit allocation method, a sliding window rate allocation method is proposed for the first time so that the window can slide along the video sequence with a certain sliding step. Experimental results show that, under dynamic bandwidth conditions, the proposed method can simultaneously satisfy the requirements for improving average PSNR of the whole video sequence greatly and reducing the fluctuations between adjacent frames greatly.展开更多

The structure obtains spatio-temporal-SNR fine granular scalability, and achieves high coding efficiency at the same time. Users can acquire their necessary scalability by choosing and combining them. Then, a high-powered codec solution based on this structure is presented. Subsequently, a focus issue on the right number of bit-planes should be used for motion compensation is discussed, and an algorithm is presented for this issue. The proposed codec saves a lot of hardware expense. Simulation results indicate that the performance of MC ＋ FGSST structure is superior to that of FGSST structure.展开更多

This paper presents a new scheme for multiple source video streaming in which the traditional fine granular scal-able coding was rebuilt into a multiple sub-streams based transmission model. A peak signal to noise ratio based stream rate allocation algorithm was then developed based on the transmission model. In tests, the algorithm performance is about 1 dB higher than that of a uniform rate allocation algorithm. Therefore, this scheme can overcome bottlenecks along a single link and smooth jitter to achieve high quality and stable video.展开更多
