Abstract

In this paper, we focus on the leaky prediction based scalable coding (LPSC) structure and present a general framework for LPSC. We demonstrate the similarity between LPSC and motion compensation based multiple description coding scheme. We show that since the information contained in the enhancement layer in LPSC is actually a mismatch between two descriptions for each frame, it cannot be guaranteed that the enhancement layer always achieves superior reconstruction quality beyond that achieved by the base layer. We derive three reconstructions for each frame under the LPSC framework, and propose a maximum-likelihood (ML) estimation scheme for LPSC video reconstruction at the decoder. This generally achieves superior decoded video quality than both the enhancement layer and the base layer.
