In this paper, we propose a scalable random access scheme in SVC based DASH service that enables random access support not only for base layer of SVC but also for enhancement layers. The proposed method includes extension of segment index box ('sidx') from DASH standard, as well as new RAP Synchronization Box ('raps'). Since the proposed scheme provides random access service for movie fragments with SVC encoded video layers, adaptive scalable random access service is possible.

본 연구에서는 SVC 기반의 HTTP 스트리밍 서비스에서 스케일러블 임의 접근 (random access) 기능을 가능하게 하는 방법을 제안한다. ISO MPEG에서는 DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) 기술을 표준화 하고 있는데, H.264/AVC 비디오에 대한 임의 접근 기능을 지원하는 구문론 (syntax)과 의미론 (semantics)은 현재 표준의 범위에 포함되어 있는 상황이지만 SVC 비디오에 대한 임의 접근 기능에 대한 기술은 포함되어 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 SVC의 계층적 구조(layered structure)를 고려한 스케일러블 (scalable) 임의 접근 기능을 지원하기 위한 구문론 (syntax)과 의미론 (semantics)에 대해 제안한다.

Owing to the increase in consumption of multimedia content and the improvement of device capacity, user demand for high-quality content has increased. However, it is difficult to transport such large amounts of content over the existing broadcasting network with limited bandwidth. To provide high-definition broadcasting, some studies suggest methods of transporting multimedia over heterogeneous networks after encoding content hierarchically. MPEG Media Transport (MMT), standardized by Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG), is a solution that enables large-volume media transport over heterogeneous networks such as digital broadcasting networks and packet-switched networks. In the case of delivering a scalable encoded video over different networks, synchronization of each stream is an important issue. MMT defines a synchronization scheme, but does not contain sufficient functions to implement it. In this paper, we propose a synchronization scheme for media streams that are encoded hierarchically, divided into layers, and transported over heterogeneous networks. We implement our scheme using MMT and HTTP, and experimented using three encapsulated video streams with different durations. As a result, we show that the proposed scheme can reduce the waiting time to display high-quality video, relative to Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP-Scalable Video Coding (DASH-SVC) by requesting segments of enhanced layers after calculating the transmission time. Additionally, we find out that the selection of durations have a relation to the characteristics of the video.

In this paper, we propose the extension of the MPEG-2 Transport Stream (TS) header for efficient adaptation of multi-layer coded video such as scalable video coding (SVC) and multiview video coding (MVC) in the HTTP streaming. First of all, the limit of the existing TS in terms of flexible adaptation of multi-layer video is investigated, and the signaling by extending TS header is proposed to provide efficient adaptation in a TS level. The proposed extension utilizes the private data field in the adaptation field of TS header to signal scalability and/or view information, which enable us to support diverse adaptation that suits underlying constraints of client capabilities, network conditions and user preferences. In short, the extension enables adaptation of scalable video with full scalability as well as view selection of multiview video in a TS level while keeping backward compatibility with the existing TS syntax/semantics. The performance of the proposed extension is compared with the existing adaptation using PID (packet ID) in terms of efficiency and complexity of adaptation. Furthermore, the increase of TS overhead caused by proposed extension is analyzed and an extension scheme to minimized the overhead is proposed.
