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 …
