An H.264/AVC to SVC TemporalTranscoder in baseline profile: digest of technical papers

Scalable Video Coding provides temporal, spatial and quality scalability using layers within the encoded bitstream. This feature allows the encoded bitstream to be adapted to different devices and heterogeneous networks. This paper proposes a technique to convert an H.264/AVC bitstream in Baseline profile to a scalable stream which provides temporal scalability. Applying the presented approach, a reduction of 65% of coding complexity is achieved while maintaining the coding efficiency

Distributed video coding for wireless video sensor networks: a review of the state-of-the-art architectures

Distributed video coding (DVC) is a relatively new video coding architecture originated from two fundamental theorems namely, Slepian–Wolf and Wyner–Ziv. Recent research developments have made DVC attractive for applications in the emerging domain of wireless video sensor networks (WVSNs). This paper reviews the state-of-the-art DVC architectures with a focus on understanding their opportunities and gaps in addressing the operational requirements and application needs of WVSNs
