In this paper, we propose a novel design scheme for the operation of Decoded Picture Buffer (DPB) including reference picture re-ordering, marking process, and reference picture list construction to perform an efficient scalable multi-view video coding. Extensive simulations show that the proposed method can provide improved compression efficiency and improved video quality measured in terms of BD-Rate and BD-PSNR for the scalable multi-view video coding.

In this paper, we propose an integrated spatial and view scalable video codec based on high efficiency video coding (HEVC). The proposed video codec is developed based on similarity and uniqueness between the scalable extension and 3D multi-view extension of HEVC. To improve compression efficiency using the proposed scalable multi-view video codec, inter-layer and inter-view predictions are jointly employed by using high-level syntaxes that are defined to identify view and layer information. For the inter-view and inter-layer predictions, a decoded picture buffer (DPB) management algorithm is also proposed. The inter-view and inter-layer motion predictions are integrated into a consolidated prediction by harmonizing with the temporal motion prediction of HEVC. We found that the proposed scalable multi-view codec achieves bitrate reduction of 36.1%, 31.6% and 15.8% on the top of ${\times}2$, ${\times}1.5$ parallel scalable codec and parallel multi-view codec, respectively.

UK "FSMA" provides a safe harbour for members of professions, which are lawyers, accountants, and actuaries in their provision of certain financial services, despite the general prohibition, the professions carry on exempt regulated activities. In particular, DPBs(designated professional bodies), which professional bodies are designated by the Treasury, must have rules and have to supervise and regulate their members those activities by rules. Also, the FSA must keep itself informed about the role of DPBs, and may make directions concerning the safe harbour in relation to particular classes of persons of different descriptions of regulated activities. On the other hand, Korea "FSCMA" explicitly except provision of financial services by professions to investment adviser without regard to mainstream financial services activities or incidental activities. Under "FSMA", if the professions conduct provision of financial services as mainstream activities, they must be authorized person and even if their activities is incidental, they have to comply with exemption sections. Therefore, there is a need of prepare the legal safeguards about provision of financial services by professions for the investor protection.
