A genetic approach to Markovian characterisation of H.264 scalable video

“…the survey by Izquierdo and Reeves [6] on statistical traffic models for MPEG-1 encoded video. Proposed statistical models include Markovian processes [7][8][9][10][11][12], autoregressive processes [13][14][15][16], spatial renewal processes [17] and self-similar processes [18,19]. From the vantage point of queueing theory, Markovian processes are the most tractable: the associated queueing behaviour can be investigated efficiently by means of matrix analytic methods; see for example [20,21].…”

“…Conti et al [7] and Conti and Gregori [9] make use of such a quantisation for the Markovian characterisation of MPEG video. The authors in [7] obtain a Markov chain for the GoPs of an MPEG-1 encoded video by joint quantisation of the GoP sizes and a moving average of the GoP sizes.…”

“…The authors in [7] obtain a Markov chain for the GoPs of an MPEG-1 encoded video by joint quantisation of the GoP sizes and a moving average of the GoP sizes. This study is then extended to include characterisation at the frame-level in [9]. In the latter paper, the authors compare encoding at different quality levels and show that traces at one quality level can be approximated by applying a deterministic mapping function on the corresponding traces at another quality level.…”
