A compressed-domain spatio-temporal adaptation system for video delivery

摘要

In this demo, we present a working system that we have built for metadata-based compressed-domain spatio-temporal video adaptation of H.264/AVC videos. Our approach is in contrast to most existing approaches that do adaptation in a series of cascaded decode/re-encode procedures. We show that by applying compressed-domain operations, adaptation can be expedited for real-time application scenarios like news/sports broadcasting. Moreover, the system can be applied as a tool box for distributed adaptation within P2P video distribution applications to support heterogeneous devices.
