    摘要: Scalable video coding and decoding methods, a scalable video encoder, and a scalable video decoder. The scalable video coding method includes receiving a GOP, performing temporal filtering and spatial transformation thereon, quantizing and generating a bitstream. The scalable video encoder for performing the scalable video coding method includes a weight determination block which determines a weight for scaling. The scalable video decoding method includes dequantizing the coded image information obtained from a received bitstream, performing descaling, inverse spatial transformation, and inverse temporal filtering on the scaled transform coefficients, thereby recovering video frames. The scalable video decoder for performing the scalable video decoding method includes an inverse weighting block. The standard deviation of Peak Signal to Noise Ratios (PSNRs) of frames included in a group of pictures (GOP) is reduced so that video coding performance can be increased.

    摘要: A scalable video codec includes an encoder that encodes an original moving picture; a rate control unit that allocates an optimal amount of bits for each coding unit based on a bit-rate desired by a user; a pre-decoder that receives a bit-stream and extracts a bit-stream having an appropriate amount of bits; and a decoder that decodes image sequences of the moving picture from the extracted bit-stream, so as to reconstruct the original moving picture. In particular, the present invention focuses on the operation performed in the rate control unit 340. The rate control unit operates a definition step of a bit-rate function available for use in the predecoder, a pre-summation step to thereby obtain the uniform visual quality, an approximation to determine the distortion function, and a normalization step to allow the total allocated bit-rates to be equal to a target bit-rate.

    摘要: Deblocking filter used in a video encoder/decoder based on a multilayer. In deciding a deblocking filter strength when performing a deblocking filtering with respect to a boundary between a current block coded by an intra-BL mode and its neighboring block, it is determined whether the current block or the neighboring block has coefficients. The filter strength is decided as a first filter strength if it is determined that the current block or the neighboring block has the coefficients, and the filter strength is decided as a second filter strength if it is determined that the current block or the neighboring block does not have the coefficients. The first filter strength is greater than the second filter strength.
