New Forms of Scalability in MPEG-4
Scalability is essential to address the requirements of various emerging video streaming applications, such as video transmission over low bit-rate wireless networks or the Internet. Previously proposed scalab...

MPEG-4 Deployment: Ongoing Efforts
MPEG-4 has encountered significant obstacles on its way to become a de facto industry standard for video coding. These obstacles stem not from the limitations of the technology, but more due to differences abo...

Interactivity Support: Coding ofObjects with Arbitrary Shapes
In this section we describe the support withinMPEG-4 for coding objects with arbitrary shapes. In particular, there are three aspects that we focus on.We start by describing the decomposition of a particular v...

MPEG-4 Video Error Resilience
MPEG-4 was designed to support universal access, and therefore several provisions were made to make MPEG-4 content robust and resilient, so that it could be transmitted to a set of heterogeneous devices over h...

Resource Adaptive Periodicity Estimation of Streaming Data
Streaming environments typically dictate incomplete or approximate algorithm execution, in order to cope with sudden surges in the data rate. Such limitations are even more accentuated in mobile environments (...

On Probability Density for Modeling Video Traffic
Accurate models for variable bit rate (VBR) video traffic need to allow for different frame types present in the video, different activity levels for different frames, and a variable group of pictures (GOP) st...
