An Efficient SNR Scalability Coding Framework - Hybrid Open-Close Loop FGS Coding
Overview This paper presents a novel high-efficient Hybrid Open-Close loop based Fine Granularity Scalable (HOCFGS) coding framework supporting different decoding complexity applications. The open-loop motion compensation for inter-pictures is introduced to efficiently exploit the temporal correlation among adjacent pictures for both base layer and FGS enhancement layer within a wide bit-rate range. An efficient rate-distortion optimized macro-block mode decision rule is used to reduce drifting error and achieve comparable coding performance at the lowest bit-rate point (base layer) with non-scalable coding. An approach like MPEG-4 FGS coding with close-loop motion compensation only at base layer is used for some inter-pictures to stop the drifting error propagation.
