VVC bitstream extraction and merging operations for multi-stream media applications

In traditional video decoding applications, the number of elementary streams that a hardware decoding platform of an end device can decode is determined at runtime by the. Upon request by the application, the decoding platform verifies whether a new decoding instance with an associated requirement in terms of data rate can fit under the current...

Towards Low-Complexity Scalable Coding for Ultra-High Resolution Video and beyond

The current state of the art of video coding lacks specific tools to efficiently deal with ultra-high resolutions such as 8K video both at a hardware and software level. At the same time, the increase in video resolutions combined with a larger variety in display resolutions results in a need for spatial scalability at low computational...
