Abstract

The vast application of video streaming over the Internet requires video adaptation to the fluctuations of the available bandwidth, and the rendering capabilities of the receiver device. On the other hand, the available video coding standards are designed for optimum bit rate which makes them susceptible to packet losses. A combination of video adaptation methods and error resilient methods can make the video stream more robust against networking problems. In this paper, an optimization for combining scalable video coding with multiple description coding schemes have been proposed. Our proposed method is capable of creating balanced descriptions with optimum coding efficiency.
