In this Paper. we present a bitrate scalable speech codec which uses an ITU-T G.723.1 as the baseline coder and encodes the synthesis error signal in an enhancement coder. ITU-T P.862 (PESQ) is used to evaluate the Performance of the bitrate scalable coder. Experiments show that 6.7kbps enhancement layer based on G.723.1 5.3kbps produces the increase of 0.39 in MOS and 5.7kbps enhancement layer based on G.723.1 6.3kbps Produces the increase of 0.267 in MOS.

본 논문에서는 동영상의 계층적 부호화의 효율을 높이기 위한 방안에 대해 연구하였다. 단일 계층부호화에 비해 다 계층부호화는 계산량이 많아진다. 따라서 계층적 부호화의 장점을 살리고 단점을 보완하는 방안을 제시하였다. 우선 인코더에서 고급계층의 복잡도를 줄이기 위하여 고급계층의 참조 형태를 P-VOP (Prediction-Video Object Plane)만으로 정한다. 고급계층의 참조 영역으로 사용되는 업샘플링된 VOP의 횟수를 줄여서 업샘플링에 따른 계산량을 줄인다. 그리고 고급계층의 비트율을 조절하여 Traffic shaping 효과도 얻을 수 있다. 이러한 방법들을 통해 단일 계층 부호화에 비해 다 계층부호화의 장점을 살리고 단점을 보완하는 코덱을 제안한다.

To achieve flexible visual contents adaptation for multimedia communications, the ISO/IEC MPEG & ITU-T VCEG form the JVT to develop an SVC amendment for the H.264/AVC standard. JVT uses inter-layer prediction that can improve the rate-distortion efficiency of the enhancement layer. But inter-layer prediction causes computational complexity to be increased. In this paper, we propose a fast mode decision for inter frame coding. It makes use of the correlation between optimized prediction mode and its RD cost. Experimental results show that the proposed schemes save up to 38% of encoding time with a negligible coding loss and bit-rate increase.

In this paper, we propose a fast mode decision method that determines the coding unit depth for enhancement layers to improve an encoding speed of a scalable video encoder based on HEVC. To decide the coding unit depth of the enhancement layer, firstly, the coding unit depth of the corresponded coding unit in the basement layer is employed. At this stage, the final CU depth is decided by calculating the rate-distortion costs of one lower depth to one upper depth of the referenced depth. The proposed method can reduce a computational load since it does not calculate the rate-distortion costs for all the depths of a target CU. We found that the proposed algorithm decreases encoding complexity of 26% with approximately 1.4% bit increment, compared with the simulcast encoder of the HM 4.0.
