An Expended Base-layer FGS Video Coding Scheme Based on One-loop Structure
Transmitting video streaming over Internet is a challenging problem because the bandwidth of network varies all the time. Scalable coding seems to be an effective solution to resolve the bandwidth varying on the streaming video application over Internet. Though traditional scalable video coding schemes get scalability
the scalability is coarse and need much more memory expense. To obtain fine granularity scalability
the MPEG-4 video coding standard adopts FGS coding scheme. It permits bitstreams after being coded be truncated and transmitted arbitrarily with the available bandwidth. However
the fine granularity scalability of the FGS is obtained at sacrifice of coding efficiency. The reason that causes the FGS coding scheme's coding efficiency is
there exists much temporal redundancy on the enhancememt layer. In this paper
two MC FGS structure based on using motion compensation on the enhancement layer are developed to get higher coding efficiency. Both of them exploit the temporal redundancy of the enhancement layer. After comparing both structures
one is recommended by this paper. The experimental results prove that the performance of scheme presented by this paper is better than that of MPEG-4 FGS.
