Trellis-Based Optimization Of Layer Extraction For Rate Adaptation In Real-Time Scalable Stereo Video Coding, Nükhet Özbek Jan 2012

Trellis-Based Optimization Of Layer Extraction For Rate Adaptation In Real-Time Scalable Stereo Video Coding, Nükhet Özbek

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The concept of quality layers (QLs) has been adopted in the scalable video coding standard to enable optimal rate adaptation of precoded video in the rate-distortion sense. QLs were previously extended to stereo and multiple-view scalable video for efficient transport of 3DTV over the Internet. However, it is not possible to use the QL method in applications that require real-time encoding since the priority determination process assumes the availability of the whole video sequence. In this work, a trellis-based online rate adaptation is proposed for real-time scalable stereo video coding, with a delay of 1 group of pictures (GoP). The …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The performance parameters of a total power radiometer designed as a noise measurement system for the frequency range of 12-18 GHz were investigated. The total power radiometer included a low-noise radio frequency section, a narrow-band intermediate frequency section, an average power detector, and a symmetric microwave switch. The radiometer's stability versus time was 0.343 \times 10^{-5} mW/h and its stability against temperature fluctuation was 0.0035 mW/K. The temperature fluctuation of the radiometer was less than 4 mK. We proved that there was no need for active temperature control to obtain stable radiometer gain.
