The new H.264/AVC video coding standard delivers a significantly better performance compared to previous standards, supporting higher quality video over lower bit rate channels. I...
In many modern video encoders, motion estimation is usually formulated as a Lagrangian cost function that balances motion prediction accuracy and the rate to transmit motion vecto...
The H.264 hypothetical reference decoder (HRD) ensures interoperability and smooth playback of video. Because the encoded bit rate may not match the channel rate, buffering and ti...
In this paper we address the problem of providing conditional access to video sequences, namely, to generate a low-quality video to be used as preview, which can be decoded at ful...
This paper describes cross-layer optimization strategies and simulation results for H.264 video multicast over wireless LAN. The proposed scheme takes into account the varying cha...
