An H.264/AVC to SVC TemporalTranscoder in baseline profile: digest of technical papers

Scalable Video Coding provides temporal, spatial and quality scalability using layers within the encoded bitstream. This feature allows the encoded bitstream to be adapted to different devices and heterogeneous networks. This paper proposes a technique to convert an H.264/AVC bitstream in Baseline profile to a scalable stream which provides temporal scalability. Applying the presented approach, a reduction of 65% of coding complexity is achieved while maintaining the coding efficiency
