Scalable video coding is an ongoing standard, and the current working draft (VM) is an extension of H.264/AVC. In the WD, an exhaustive search technique is employed to select the best coding mode for each macroblock. This technique achieves the highest possible coding efficiency, but it results in extremely large encoding time which obstructs it from practical use. This paper proposes a fast mode decision algorithm for inter-frame coding for spatial, coarse grain signal-to-noise ratio, and temporal scalability. It makes use of the mode-distribution correlation between the base layer and enhancement layers. Specifically, after the exhaustive search technique is performed at the base layer, the candidate modes for enhancement layers can be reduced to a small number based on the correlation. Experimental results show that the fast mode decision scheme reduces the computational complexity significantly with negligible coding loss and bit-rate increases.

We have proposed an error resilient video coding system, which dynamically replaces reference pictures in inter-frame coding according to the backward channel signaling. This system can prevent the temporal error propagation, because the encoder would not use the erred picture as the reference picture. This system has two modes, one is ACK mode and the other is NACK mode. ACK mode is effective in more erroneous condition, and NACK mode is effective in less erroneous condition. In this paper, we explain both modes and focus on the mode switching mechanism according to the error condition on the network so that the optimal performance can be achieved in any error conditions by the proposed system. We show the performance of our proposed system compared with the previous version of ITU-T H.263, which did not have a reference picture selection mode, by a computer simulation as well.
