Abstract

In this work, a novel live scalable video streaming scheme, with adaptive pre-processing (pre-filtering), is presented. The scheme employs Scalable Video Coding (SVC), which is an extension of the H.264/AVC. An adaptive pre-filter is provided for each SVC layer, while each pre-filter's parameters, such as the standard deviation and kernel matrix size, are dynamically adjusted according to the varying network conditions, thereby enabling to continuously obtain an optimal visual presentation quality at the decoder end. The performance of the presented live scalable video streaming scheme is evaluated and tested in detail, thereby demonstrating significant improvements of more than 2dB.
