Abstract

In this paper, we present motion-refined transcoding of H.264/AVC streams to SVC in the transform domain. By accurately taking into account both rate and distortion in the different layers on the one hand, and the SVC inter-layer motion prediction mechanisms on the other hand, the proposed transcoding architecture is able to improve rate-distortion performance over existing approaches. We propose a multilayer control mechanism that trades off performance between the different layers, resulting in 0.5 dB gains in the output SVC base layer.
