METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COMPUTING THE DISTORTION VALUE OF THE VIDEO PACKET FOR PRIORITY ASSIGNMENT IN SCALABLE VIDEO CODING

摘要

An apparatus for allocating priority order on each frame in SVC and a method thereof are provided to reduce memory required for storing a distortion value and to decrease complexity in case the distortion value is calculated. An apparatus for allocating priority order on each frame in SVC comprises the followings; a single condition setting unit(410) assuming that an SNR enhancement layer exists in other frame of GOP; an estimating unit(420) estimating an identical distortion value; and a compensation unit(430) compensating the distortion value by reflecting a different rate of size.
