An Algorithm for Packing Bitstream of Scalable Video Coding

In this paper, there is provided a method for packing a bitstream of scalable video coding (SVC). We use the SVC extractor to perform bitstream extraction and allocation, and employs non-uniform cutting instead of the SVC standard´s uniform cutting. First, a birstream is obtained, wherein the bitstream has a plurality of frames and each frame has a base layer and a plurality of enhancement layers. Next, the complexity of each frame is analyzed according to the features of the bitstream parameters. Next, the base layer of the frames is selectively packed to a base packet according to the complexity of the frame.
