* (b) Decoder Fig 11.8 (b): MPEG-2 SNR Scalability (Decoder). * Spatial Scalability ? The base layer is designed to generate bitstream of reduced- resolution pictures. When combined with the enhancement layer, pictures at the original resolution are produced. ? The Base and Enhancement layers for MPEG-2 spatial scal- ability are not as tightly coupled as in SNR scalability. ? Fig. 11.9 (a) shows a typical block diagram. Fig. 11.9 (b) shows a case where temporal and spatial predictions are com- bined. * Fig. 11.9: Encoder for MPEG-2 Spatial Scalability. (a) Block Diagram. (b) Combining Temporal and Spatial Predictions for Encoding at Enhancement Layer. * Temporal Scalability ? The input video is temporally dem u lti plexed into two pieces, each carrying half of the original frame rate. ? Base Layer Encoder carries out the normal single-layer cod- ing procedures for its own input video and yields the output bitstream Bits_ base. ? The prediction of matching MBs at the Enhancement Layer can be obtained in two ways: - Interlayer MC (Motion-Compensated) Prediction (Fig. 11.10 (b)) - Combined MC Prediction and Interlayer MC Prediction (Fig. 11.10 (c)) * (a) Block Diagram Fig 11.10: Encoder for M P EG-2 Temporal Sca la bi l ity. * Fig 11.10 (Contd): Encoder for MPEG-2 Temporal Scalability * Hybrid Scalability ? Any two of the above three scalabilities can be combined to form hybrid scalability: 1. Spatial and Temporal Hybrid Scalability. 2. SNR and Spatial Hybrid Scalability. 3. SNR and Temporal Hybrid Scalability. ? Usually, a three-layer hybrid coder will be adopted which con- sists of Base Layer, Enhancement Layer 1, and Enhancement Layer 2. * Data Partitioning ? Base partition contains lower-frequency DCT coefficients, enhancement partition contains high-frequency DCT coef- ficients. ? Strictly speaking, data partitioning is not layered coding, since a single stream of video data is simply divided up and there is no furthe
