Quality improvement for fgs bl coding with u/v coarse quantization

摘要

A Fine Granular Scalability (FGS) encoding system and method having a base layer encoder and an enhancement layer encoder, wherein the base layer encoder comprises: a discrete cosine transform (DCT) system for generating a DCT signal having a Y component and a U/V component; and a quantizer system for separately quantizing the Y component and U/V component such that more bits can be assigned to the Y component than the U/V component.
