Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Improved methods and apparatuses are provided for switching of streaming data bitstreams, such as, for example, used in video streaming and other related applications. Some desired functionalities provided herein include random access, fast forward and fast backward, error-resilience and bandwidth adaptation. The improved methods and apparatuses can be configured to increase coding efficiency of and/or reduce the amount of data needed to encode a switching bitstream.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. In a computing system that implements a video decoder, a method comprising: receiving encoded data for a video frame, the encoded data including a flag that indicates whether the encoded data is to be decoded as a switching bitstream; decoding the encoded data to reconstruct the video frame, wherein: if the flag indicates the encoded data is not to be decoded as a switching bitstream, the decoding of the encoded data to reconstruct the video frame uses a…
