The recursive optimal per-pixel estimate (ROPE) is an effective end-to-end distortion estimation scheme. Most existing ROPE-based applications assume that: (i) the encoder knows e...
This work introduces two complementary techniques to improve the packet loss resilience of scalable video coding systems. First, a “switch per-pixel” error concealment (SPEC) ...
In this paper, we discuss the design of a highly-parallel motion estimator for real-time Scalable Video Coding (SVC). In an SVC, motion is commonly estimated bidirectionally and o...

Motion information scalability is an important requirement for a fully scalable video codec, especially in low bit rate or small resolution decoding scenarios, for which the fully...
We address the problem of real-time mode decisions for enhancement layer coding in the context of fine granularity scalable coding. While traditional mode selection strategies tak...
