Encoding and decoding methods for scalable streaming and related systems

摘要

A method and system for scalably encoding data are disclosed. A method and system for decoding data which has been scalably encoding are also disclosed. In one encoding method embodiment, the present invention recites receiving data. The present method then segments the data into corresponding regions. The regions are then scalably encoded into scalable data. Next, the present embodiment, packetizes the scalable data.
