Abstract

A next-generation codec should be developed to be a scalable video codec(SVC) that not only maximizes the coding efficiency but also adaptively copes with the various communication devices and the variation of network environments. To meet these requirements, Joint Video Team (JVT) of ISO/IEC and ITU-T is standardizing H.264/AVC based SVC. In this paper, we introduce research directions and status on SVC standardization and also analyze techniques and algorithms adopted in the current SVC.

앞으로의 동영상의 부호화 방법은 압축효율을 최대화시키는 것뿐 만 아니라 다양한 단말기 및 변화하는 통신 환경에 친화적으로 대응할 수 있는 Scalable Video Codec으로 발전해야 한다. 이러한 요구에 부응하여 ISO/IEC와 ITU-T의 합작 팀인 JVT(Joint Video Team)에서 H.264기반 스케일러블 비디오 부호화(SVC : Scalable Video Coding)에 관한 표준화가 진행 중이다. 본 논문에서는 현재 표준화 진행 중인 H.264/AVC기반 SVC의 연구 방향 및 표준화 진행 현황을 소개하고 그 기술을 분석한다.
