Coding Modes Probability Modeling for H.264/AVC to SVC Video Transcoding

Scalable video coding (SVC) supports full scalability by extracting a partial bitstream to adapt to transmission and display requirements in multimedia applications. Most conventional video content is stored in non-scalable format, e.g., H.264/AVC, necessitating the development of an efficient video transcoding from a conventional format to a scalable one. This work describes a fast video transcoding architecture that overcomes the complexity of different coding structures between H.264/AVC and SVC. The proposed algorithm simplifies the mode decision process in SVC owing to its heavy computations. The current mode in SVC is selected by the highest conditional probability of SVC¡¦s mode given the H.264/AVC¡¦s mode. Exactly when an error prediction occurs is then detected using Bayesian theorem, followed by its refinement using the Markov model. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm saves on average 75.28% of coding time with 0.13 dB PSNR loss over that when using a cascaded pixel domain transcoder.
