Performance analysis for scalable video coding based on a maximization of estimated MOS

Abstract

The authors have proposed a video coding technique that maximizes an estimated spatio-temporal Mean Opinion Score (EMOS), and have applied the technique to a spatio-temporal scalable video coding. However, the advantages of the scalable video coding technique have not been sufficiently investigated, especially from the viewpoint of an overall video quality in terms of reducing the frame rate by the temporal scalability. This paper thus examines the advantage of the scalable video coding technique by applying it to several test sequences.
