They consider cell loss ratios of about 10 Gamma3 3 . But, burst error effects are not taken into account in that work. Amir and McCanne [1] have proposed a layered DCT coder which is derived from progressive JPEG. The coder defines a scalable structure by dividing the bit plane into layers. Asynchronous video coding schemes presented in [36] use conditional replenishment based schemes to discard fine resolution information (e.g. ....

....period of time. During heavy packet losses, important areas may not be updated until the losses subside. This is an all or nothing approach: a block will completely reach its new state or not change at all. Layering approaches have partly alleviated this last problem. Algorithms like L DCT [2] and PVH [19] use a base channel to encode a low quality representation of the block; and use additional channels to encode enhancement information to reproduce a more faithful block. Because enhancement layers usually depend on the base layered being received, when the base layer packets are ....

....in a single step, the precision of the value is gradually progressed. For example in the Progressive JPEG standard [10] each AC coefficient is refined one bit at a time. Although this technique is widely used in the Web, the successive reconstruction is quite time consuming. Therefore, [1] defines a more general approach called LDCT. Here, AC coefficients are encoded with 9 bit accuracy and split into four groups. The first group contains the three most significant bits of each coefficient, while the remaining three groups encode two bits each. Each group is transmitted on a ....

Each 8 8 block of each image is transformed into the frequency domain, and the bits of the DCT coefficients are distributed over several layers. This corresponds to applying different quantisation factors ranging ....

Layered DCT [1], pyramid coding [2] subband image coding [22, 16] are some examples of layered spatial coding. A number of methods have been developed to produce layered video code by using layered DCT, such as successive quantization, spectral separation and spatial scaling.

....more layers assigned to a traffic stream, the better QoS is provided. Partitions into layers give the system an option for further QoS differentiation beyond just the decision of whether or not to admit a call. This would, for instance, allow us to take advantage of recent advances in video coding [2], 19] by representing video (or audio) streams as multilayer scalable flows that can adapt dynamically to changing network and link conditions. Dealing with layers is a straightforward extension of the ideas presented here; for ease of exposition, we do not consider layers further in this paper. ....

Several approaches have been developed in order to scale video in any of these three dimensions [Kuh98b, Bur83, Ami96, McC96, Mer97, Hof96]. For simplicity and due to performance we decided to use a simple scaling mechanism that reduces the temporal resolution [Kuh98a] of intra encoded H.261 video streams by relying on the RTP header information [Sch96b, Sch96a] as it is produced, e.g. by the video conferencing tool vic: If the ....

Hierarchical coding was first suggested for packet voice transmission[6] and subsequently several coding schemes have been proposed for video, e.g. [1], 15] 32] to name a few. Some of these are amenable to tuning of layer bandwidths. Tuning of layer bandwidths become trivial if an embedded code is used. In an embedded code, any prefix of a valid codeword is a valid codeword and if the code is chosen appropriately, the prefix codeword ....

Hierarchical coding was first suggested for packet voice transmission[7] Subsequently, several hierarchical coding schemes have been proposed for video, e.g. [1], 16] 33] to name a few.

This reduces the run time overhead since we process multiple layers in parallel as is done by the Layered DCT implementation in [39]. In addition, the output codewords are rearranged to facilitate a performance optimization described later. Version 1 of this codec bit syntax, which we call Progressive Video with Hybrid transform (PVH) is detailed in the appendix of [17] 3.2.2 Bit Allocation To optimize the compression ....
