A Test Bench for Distortion-Energy Optimization of a DSP-Based H.264/SVC Decoder

This paper describes an OMAP-based real-time test bench to find the Pareto frontier of an H.264/SVC decoder within a distortion-energy optimization space. A metric to estimate video distortion is introduced. In addition, energy consumption estimates are obtained from real-time measurements of the computational load. Finally, test bench operation is successfully demonstrated with different H.264/SVC-compliant sets of sequences.
