A method for scalable coding of image information, in particular video image information

摘要

The invention relates to a method for scalable coding of image information, in particular video image information, in which an input signal (is) with the image information in a first encoding step includes, comprising an entropy coding (ec) in a first coded signal, with a plurality of codes (c1, c2,.., cn) is converted, each code (c1, c2,.., cn) is associated with a decoded value, and wherein the first coded signal in a second encoding step (sc) in a second encoded signal is converted, the first coded signal as a function of a desired data rate for the transfer of the image information is compressed and the compressed signal forms the second encoded signal.
