Title: Reducing aliasing in spatial scalable video coding
Inventor: HSIANG SHIH-TA
IPC: H04N7/12
Filed: 2010-02-17
Abstract: A system includes a first set of subband filter banks, a second set of subband filter banks, a low--resolution base encoder, and a high-resolution enhancement encoder. The first set of subband filter banks performs subband analysis on a full resolution source video frame to generate a subband representation comprised of a lowpass subband and multiple highpass subbands. The second set of the filter banks decomposes the lowpass subband into aliasing subband components and aliasing-free subband components. The low-resolution encoder encodes the aliasing-free subband components, to generate an encoded video signal with minimal or no aliasing subband components. The highpass subbands from the first set of filter banks, the aliasing subband components, and optional refinements of aliasing-free subband components are encoded by the high-resolution enhancement encoder to provide further information for recovering video at full resolution.
