The advancement and development in video coding technology, together with the increase of storage capacity network infrastructures and computing power are enabling an increasing number of video applications.
Scalable video coding (SVC) is the extension of H.264/AVC standard. The features in SVC are also developed from the H.264/AVC standard, so that SVC has more features compared to H.264/AVC standard. This provides higher coding complexity in SVC encoder which causes higher encoding time for SVC. SVC is gaining great interest because of its ability and scalability to adapt in various network conditions. SVC allows partial transmission and decoding of a bitstream. This research deals with fast mode decision algorithm for decreasing encoding time or fastening the mode decision process of the SVC encoder. Moreover, the performance of SVC over wireless network will be evaluated. The simulation tools can be of great help for a better understanding of the streaming analysis over the network. Hence, this research utilizes Scalable Video Evaluation Framework (SVEF).
The fast mode decision scheme has been implemented and successfully decreased encoding time with negligible loss of quality and bitrate requirement. The streaming simulation has also been performed using the SVEF simulator. The simulation result shows the proposed fast mode decision algorithm provides time saving up to 45 % while maintaining video quality with negligible PSNR loss. For the streaming video, the received packets on the receiver can be reconstructed on maintained video quality with also negligible PSNR loss. |
