COMBINED CODING OF LENGTHS OF SERIES OF REFINEMENT RATIOS AND SIGNIFICANT RATIOS AT LEVELS OF EXPANSION OF SCALABLE VIDEO CODING

摘要

FIELD: information technologies.;SUBSTANCE: two different stages of series lengths are not carried out to separately code significant ratios and refinement ratios. Lengths of series of significant ratios and refinement ratios are coded together. Therefore, values of series of coding of series lengths code significant ratios with refinement ratios. Sign information for some of refinement ratios may be produced in decoder on the basis of sign values of appropriate coefficients of previously coded levels of SVC circuit, which may additionally increase efficiency of compression.;EFFECT: efficient coding of series lengths of significant ratios and refinement ratios of expansion level, which eliminate necessity to send sign information for some of refinement ratios.;32 cl, 9 dwg
