Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A scalable video coding method for coding a video sequence ( 10 ) results in a bit stream ( 20 } partitionable into two layer representations ( 20 1 , 2 O 2 ) of the video sequence ( 10 ). The second layer representation ( 2 O 2 ) has an enhanced resolution compared to the first layer representation ( 2 O 1 .). The method includes generating (si) predictive coding parameters for the second layer using previously reconstructed pixels ( 14 ) in the second layer. The method further includes performing (s 2 ) prediction for the first layer, using the predictive coding parameters and the previously reconstructed pixels ( 14 ) in the second layer, to generate a first layer prediction signal. The method further includes generating (s 3 ) a first layer residual, based on the difference between the original image and the first layer prediction signal. The predictive coding parameters and the first layer residual are coded (s 4 ) as the first layer representation ( 2 O 1 ). An encoder ( 30 ) and computer program are also provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A scalable video coding method for encoding a video sequence into a bit stream, the resulting bit stream being partitionable into at least a first layer representation and a second layer representation of the video sequence, wherein the second layer representation has an enhanced spatial or quality resolution compared to the first layer representation, comprising: generating predictive coding parameters for the second layer representation of at least o…
