The Progressive Fine Granularity Scalable (PFGS) coding is a promising technique for streaming video applications. The macroblock-based PFGS coding proposes several INTER modes fo...
The support of variable block-sizes, though significantly improves the compression efficiency, imposes a big computational challenge on an H.264 encoder. In this paper, we present...
An encoder based rate smoothing scheme which uses explicit slicebased mode selection has been proposed recently. The algorithm provides significantly smoother bitstream from a va...
The structural similarity (SSIM) index has been found to be a good indicator of perceived image quality. In this paper, we propose a rate-SSIM optimization scheme for mode selecti...

Abstract--The H.264 standard achieves much higher coding efficiency than the MPEG-2 standard, due to its improved inter-and intra-prediction modes at the expense of higher computat...
