Cross SNR layer motion estimation/motion compensation (ME/MC) scheme is proposed in this paper for the SNR scalability of scalable video coding. Both the motion information and residual information are refined at the enhancement layers by our cross SNR layer ME/MC scheme. A good trade-off between motion information and residual information can be obtained at all bit rates. The coding efficiency is improved by up to more than 1dB at high bit rate.
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.
