Abstract

Abstract. A simple and effective method is presented forfast decoding of H.264 scalable video coding SVC . Theup-sampling operation in H.264 SVC makes the decodervery complex, because convolution and complex memorytransactions are inevitable. The proposed method exploitscoded modes of neighboring macroblocks MBs for deter-mining up-sampling operation on MB by MB. The experi-mental validation shows considerable improvement in de-coding time, and the proposed method reduces thecomplexity by about 25% on average. © 2008 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.

Consequently, a new standard was proposedto provide scalable video models for scalable extension ofH.264/AVC H.264 scalable video coding SVC .
