3D subband video coding provides an elegant fulldimensional solution for scalable video coding. However, due to the Motion-Compensated Temporal Filtering (MCTF) with open-loop structure and no good rate distortion optimization trade-off between the texture coding and overhead coding of the corresponding mode and motion vectors within narrow bandwidth, its performance is unsatisfactory at low bi...

Video streaming is the major subject of Amendment for MPEG-4 and it is developed in response to the growing needs on a video-coding standard for the video communication. The finegranular scalability (FGS) combined with the temporal scalability addresses a variety of challenging problems in delivering video. The FGS video encoder makes the coding mode decision based on the video content and the ...

We present a new coding mechanism, spatiotemporal coding, that allows coders to annotate points and regions in the video frame by drawing directly on the screen. Coders can not only attach labels to time intervals in the video but can specify a possibly moving region on the video screen. This opens up the spatial dimension for multi-track video coding and is an essential asset in almost every a...

In order to improve the quality of video transmission over wireless relay system, some of the studies using Network Coding (NC) and Forward Error Correction (FEC) have been studied. In this paper, layered video streaming using scalable video coding (SVC) based on prioritized network coding is investigated. We propose a novel network coding scheme (prioritizedNC) in order to improve the quality ...

Traditional video coding is devoted to represent the video data compactly by dealing with low-level features (e.g., color, motion, texture, etc.) of the video. However, with the insatiable demand of Internet and increased use of multimedia, the bit-rate control issues are more and more important. In order to achieve more efficient representation for coping with diverse network or devices, many ...
