Temporal scalability comparison of the H.264/SVC and distributed video codec

The problem of the multimedia scalable video streaming is a current topic of interest. There exist many methods for scalable video coding. This paper is focused on the scalable extension of H.264/AVC (H.264/SVC) and distributed video coding (DVC). The paper presents an efficiency comparison of SVC and DVC having reduced encoder complexity. Moreover, temporal scalability is described for these two algorithms, and it is analyzed and compared.
