摘要

Known systems based on layered video coding and video decoding code with inadequate efficiency because the new high-resolution picture is predicted by means of the switching means present in the system either on the basis of the preceding high-resolution picture or on the basis of the instantaneous low-resolution picture. According to the invention, designing the switching means for the adjustment of the ratio of the signal representing the preceding high-resolution picture and the signal representing the instantaneous low-resolution picture and for then adding both the adjusted signals achieves a gain of 3 dB in the prediction with the correct ratio, and this results in an improvement in the coding efficiency.
