Fine granular scalability is a coding tool, recently introduced in the emerging MPEG-4
standard, which enables the creation of very flexible scalable video bitstreams. This paper …

MPEG-4 has proposed FGS (Fine Granular Scalability) video coding technique that can
adapt to Internet bandwidth variation. In this paper, we propose the Spectral FGS (SFGS) …

The wireless mobile nodes are self-powered and energy-sensitive. It is critical to prevent
rapid energy dissipation while streaming high quality video over wireless. We investigate the …

This paper presents an efficient method for streaming video that has the attribute of fine-
granular scalability (FGS), which is a video coding method currently undergoing the MPEG-4 …

We examine the enhancement layer rate allocation problem in progressive fine granular
scalable (PFGS) coding. The problem arises from the fact that different frames in the …

The MPEG-4 fine-granular-scalability (FGS) has been introduced as a flexible low-
complexity solution for video streaming over heterogeneous networks (eg, the Internet). A …

Spectral FGS (SFGS), modified from MPEG-4 FGS, was proposed as a scalable video
coding technique that has more even image quality and is more suitable for rate allocation …

In this work we compare standard-compliant H. 264 video transmission with an efficient fine
granular scalable coding method based on H. 264, the progressive texture video coding …

The principle for elastic storage of compressed multimedia content has been introduced. It is
based on the combination of a random-access storage medium and a bit rate scaling …

The increased popularity of video streaming over the Internet attracts numerous clients.
These clients are quite heterogeneous in terms of network bandwidth and processing …
