Wai Tian Tan Elec. Eng. and Comp. U.C. Berkeley Scalable video compression is suitable for Internet transmissions due to its ability to effect flow control.
Examples are source-based rate control for unicast and layered multicast.
However, without proper error control, the resulting video may not be of acceptable quality. We will describe some of the unicast experiments we have done over the Internet using bandwidth scalable video compression to motivate the design of our scalable compression scheme with error resilience. We will describe the use of the compression scheme in a unicast setting and present experimental results including comparisons with a forward error correction scheme. Finally we will discuss the applicability of the scheme for multicast transmissions.
