Video coding solutions based on fixed, pre-defined video coding standards have certain limitations. Dynamic reconfiguration has the potential to offer greater ratedistortion performance than fixed codecs, making it possible to rapidly implement new algorithms and efficiently support multiple coding formats on a single platform. In this paper we describe a framework for dynamic re-configuration of video codecs, Fully Configurable Video Coding, in which new or modified decoder designs are generated, transmitted and implemented by a Universal Video Decoder. We present initial results of a real-time software prototype.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
