Abstract
Information systems and distributed applications for the Internet show a growing demand for real-time audiovisual services. Support for those services within the Internet protocol layer will be widely available in the near future. Nevertheless, the heterogeneous structure of the Internet remains to be a great obstacle for establishing real-time video services. Scalable video codecs, generating bit-streams decodable at different rates, have been proposed to address the heterogeneity problem. In this paper we present a scalable codec based on a spatio-temporal resolution pyramid combined with lattice vector quantization for efficient compression. With this approach additionallower bitrate layers can be transmitted at the same overall bitrate as needed by an H.263 single-layer transmission. The complexity of the codec is sufficiently low to allow software-only implementations of Internet video services. This is demonstrated on the example of an implemented video server application. I.
