METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR USING FRAME RATE UP CONVERSION TECHNIQUES IN SCALABLE VIDEO CODING

摘要

A method for encoding a video stream includes partitioning the video stream into a main layer having a plurality of main layer frames, and an interpolated layer having a plurality of interpolated layer frames; interpolating a frame rate up conversion (FRUC) frame; and encoding the plurality of main layer frames in the interpolated layer with the assistance of the main FRUC frame. A video encoder implementing the method is also described.
