Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to bit depth enhancement for scalable video coding. Background technique
[0002] The present invention generally relates to bit depth enhancement for scalable video coding.
[0003] A particular video can be viewed by many different viewers using many different devices and connections. For example, a particular Internet site can broadcast a video stream that can be viewed over a variety of wired and wireless networks, on mobile devices, desktop computers, and televisions, etc., with varying capabilities, connected to the site. To accommodate this different environment, a concept called scalable video coding can be employed.
[0004] In scalable video coding, multiple layers of compressed video streams are provided, which allow each end device to extract the information matching the device's capabilities and ignore the rest. The compressed video stream can be encoded to accommodate a number of different scalable feature...
