Video surveillance has been playing an important role in public safety and privacy protection in recent years thanks to its capability of providing the activity monitoring and content analyzing. However, the data associated with long hours surveillance video is huge, making it less attractive to practical applications. In this paper, we propose a low complexity, yet efficient scalable video coding solution for video surveillance system. The proposed surveillance video compression scheme is able to provide the quality scalability feature by following a layered coding structure that consists of one or several enhancement layers on the top of a base layer. In addition, to maintain the backward compatibility with the current video coding standards, the state-of-the-art video coding standard, i.e., High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), is employed in the proposed coding solution to compress the base layer. To satisfy the low complexity requirement of the encoder for the video surveillance systems, the distributed coding concept is employed at the enhancement layers. Experiments conducted for a rich set of surveillance video data shown that the proposed surveillance - distributed scalable video coding (S-DSVC) solution significantly outperforms relevant video coding benchmarks, notably the SHVC standard and the HEVC-simulcasting while requiring much lower computational complexity at the encoder which is essential for practical video surveillance applications.

Scalable Video Coding (SVC) is an international standard technique for video compression. It is an extension of H.264 Advanced Video Coding (AVC). In the encoding of video streams by SVC, it is suitable to employ the macroblock (MB) mode because it affords superior coding efficiency. However, the exhaustive mode decision technique that is usually used for SVC increases the computational complexity, resulting in a longer encoding time (ET). Many other algorithms were proposed to solve this problem with imperfection of increasing transmission time (TT) across the network. To minimize the ET and TT, this paper introduces four efficient algorithms based on spatial scalability. The algorithms utilize the mode-distribution correlation between the base layer (BL) and enhancement layers (ELs) and interpolation between the EL frames. The proposed algorithms are of two categories. Those of the first category are based on interlayer residual SVC spatial scalability. They employ two methods, namely, interlayer interpolation (ILIP) and the interlayer base mode (ILBM) method, and enable ET and TT savings of up to 69.3% and 83.6%, respectively. The algorithms of the second category are based on full-search SVC spatial scalability. They utilize two methods, namely, full interpolation (FIP) and the full-base mode (FBM) method, and enable ET and TT savings of up to 55.3% and 76.6%, respectively.

Fast Intra Mode Decision

Intra4×4 mode decision has correlation between enhancement layer and base layer in scalable video coding (SVC). In this paper, a new intra mode decision algorithm is proposed based on this correlation and the proximity of prediction directions of nine Intra4×4 prediction modes. This method is used in enhancement layer to decrease the mode numbers in enhancement layer. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm can save 27.52% encoding time on average with negligible PSNR change and small bit-rate loss.

This paper presents a early mode decision algorithm, which is proposed to reduce the complexity of the mode selection process for enhancement layers in H.264 Scalable Video Coding. The proposed algorithm consists of the following three main steps. We firstly divide all the macroblocks into 4 classes according to the mode of collocated macroblocks in the base layer. Then, the macroblocks are subdivided with trained BP (Back Propagation) network according to the mode of neighboring macroblocks. Finally, we choose different mode selection algorithms for different divided cases, and check whether the algorithms are agreeable. Compared to JSVM 9.18, experiment results show that, with this algorithm, 30% encoding time can be saved with a negligible loss in BDSNR, and BDBR can be significantly reduced.

This paper proposes a quality scalable extension design for the upcoming high efficiency video coding (HEVC) standard. In the proposed design, the single-loop decoder solution is extended into the proposed scalable scenario. A novel interlayer intra/interprediction is added to reduce the amount of bits representation by exploiting the correlation between coding layers. The experimental results indicate that the average Bjøntegaard delta rate decrease of 20.50% can be gained compared with the simulcast encoding. The proposed technique achieved 47.98% Bjøntegaard delta rate reduction compared with the scalable video coding extension of the H.264/AVC. Consequently, significant rate savings confirm that the proposed method achieves better performance.
