Abstract

This paper proposes a systematic rate controller (SRC) for content-aware streaming of MPEG-4 FGS video over the Internet. An active layer dropping technique is proposed to provide both coarse-grain and fine-granularity scalability of smooth quality adaptation to bandwidth fluctuations and bit-rate variations of streamed video over a general time-scale. The smooth quality adaptation is realized through the mode and state transition of a state machine that implements the SRC. The SRC effectively uses available bandwidth and client buffer by forward-shifting the FGS video stream. It provides protection to video segments with important content by introducing a content-aware priority-based layer model for the MPEG-4 FGS video stream.
