The latest High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) achieves significant compression performance improvement over Advanced Video Coding (AVC). The high compression efficiency of HEVC together with the wide availabilities of H.264/AVC decoders necessitates transcoding between these two technologies. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for software-based HEVC to H.264/AVC transcoding. By utilizing the information extracted from the input HEVC stream, the transcoding process can be accelerated with relatively minor compression efficiency loss. Experiment results show that the proposed transcoding algorithm can save around 60% of the time cost of re-encoding process compared with x264, one of the most widely used H.264 encoders, with very small loss of compression performance.

Multimedia content delivery and real-time streaming over the top of the existing infrastructure is nowadays part and parcel of every media ecosystem thanks to open standards and the adoption of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) as its primary mean for transportation. Hardware encoder manufacturers have adopted their product lines to support the dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP but suffer from the inflexibility to provide scalability on demand, specifically for event-based live services that are only offered for a limited period of time. The cloud computing paradigm allows for this kind of flexibility and provide the necessary elasticity in order to easily scale with the demand required for such use case scenarios. In this paper we describe bitcodin, our transcoding and streaming-as-as-ervice platform based on open standards (i.e., MPEG-DASH) which is deployed on standard cloud and content delivery infrastructures to enable high-quality streaming to heterogeneous clients. It is currently deployed for video on demand, 24/7 live, and event-based live services using bitdash, our adaptive client framework.

The rapid growth in demand for video streaming applications is stressing the performance of wireless access networks. To alleviate congestion, vendors currently propose devices to be placed in the operator's network that transcode videos to a lower rate in order to reduce traffic volume in case of congestion. The devices are also able to cache popular videos, both to reduce the burden of transcoding and to alleviate backhaul load. The paper proposes a model of this augmented radio access network enabling an evaluation of the performance benefits for given transcoding and caching capacities. Our results show that a gain in cell capacity of 15% can be realized with moderate transcoding and cache capacities.

Video applications are an important part of mobile devices. Capacity of battery is increasing maximum of 10 percentage per year, which may not be sufficient for upcoming application and operating system. Power consumption by video application depends on factors like network load, signal quality, bandwidth and it can be optimized through heuristics based streaming. The work presented here exploits adaptive bitrate streaming to determine the optimum bitrate for available bandwidth. Selection of optimum bitrate ensures quality delivery of video as well as optimum power consumption of the device. Moving Picture Expert Group - Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (MPEG-DASH) has been used for implementing the switching between the bitrates. The fifteen bitrates selected for encoding are closer to the mean value which is available for streaming. The approach has been tested on an Android based tablet over thirty videos to check the dependency of the factors on each other. This is the major approach to establish relationship between bitrate and power consumption for video streaming. The result obtained shows a 14 percentage of power saving with minimum buffering and good quality of service.

This paper presents an overview of ongoing efforts for creation and delivery of next generation IP television and Video on Demand services. The successful cloud computing paradigm and recent advances in video coding standards are ready to be applied to widely established media services and promise enhanced user experience and reduced cost for operators at the same time. This paper brings together a novel architecture for media services from Deutsche Telekom Innovation Laboratories with cutting edge compressed domain video processing techniques from Fraunhofer Heinrich-Hertz-Institute. In this context, this paper presents an alternative to costly and resource hungry server-side video transcoding, e.g. for insertion of advertisement overlays or user interfaces. The presented concept uses the newly emerged H.265/HEVC standard.

With the prevalence of personal computer devices and Internet, it has to provide scalable video coding to serve users under heterogeneous network environments. We proposed to develop a cloud-based video transcoding system, in which a hierarchical scheduling algorithm has been developed to speed up the process. The efficiency can be maintained at 98% and processing time can be reduced to 13% smaller.

Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) is a promising solution to enhance the Quality of Experience (QoE) of mobile video services. In this paper, we consider an Edge-DASH scenario where two problems of Bitrate Allocation (BrA) and user-to-server allocation (USA) have been jointly formulated. Then, we exploit Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) algorithm to solve the USA problem and select the streaming point for users, which can be streaming from the Edge, Macro layer or cloud, and deliver the users the most appropriate bitrate respecting the QoE by solving the BrA problem. In the simulation results, we have demonstrated that our Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) outperforms the traditional solution in terms of bitrate allocation.

Holographic video creates an immersive experience for users with lifelike scene reconstruction, yet it comes with the trade-off of managing massive data volumes. Therefore, to maintain a consistent quality of experience (QoE) in wireless networks with fluctuating channel conditions, it is necessary to develop efficient and adaptive holographic video streaming methods. This paper proposes a coordinated multicast streaming framework for holographic video that integrates coordinated multipoint transmission with transcoding-enabled multicasting techniques. Our framework supports the simultaneous transmission of holographic video tiles at various bitrates from multiple multi-antenna base stations to different multicast groups, significantly enhancing the overall viewing experience. We formulate an optimization problem with the goals of improving the average video quality experienced by all users while reducing the energy consumption for transcoding, which is NP-hard. By employing the proximal policy optimization, a leading-edge deep reinforcement learning algorithm, and convex optimization techniques, we develop a dynamic algorithm for joint bitrate selection and resource allocation. Simulations confirm the effectiveness of our algorithm, showing marked improvements in QoE over existing baselines.

The new video coding standard, High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), achieves much higher coding efficiency than the state-of-the-art H.264. transcoding H.264 video to HEVC video is important to enable gradual migration to HEVC. Therefore, a fast H.264 to HEVC transcoding algorithm based on region feature analysis is proposed. First, each frame is segmented into three regions in units of coding tree unit (CTU) based on the correlation between image coding complexities and coding bits of the H.264 source stream. Then the searching depth range of each CTU is adaptively decided according to the region type. After that, motion vectors are de-noise filtered and clustered in order to analyze the region features of coding unit (CU). Based on the analysis results, the minimum searching depth of CU and partitions of prediction unit (PU) are optimally selected, and the motion vector predictor and search window size of motion estimation are also optimally decided for further reduction of the computational complexity. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm achieves a significant improvement on transcoding speed, while maintaining high Rate-Distortion performance.
