Efficient Region-of-Interest Scalable Video Coding with Adaptive Bit-Rate Control

Table 7

Test conditions for performing the tests/evaluation.

SettingsAll tested video sequences

QP settings
 Base-layer (Layer 0), which only contains the ROI40
 Enhancement layer (Layer 1), which contains both the ROI and the background regionIs adaptively varied from 20 to 40, depending on the ROI QP:
for ROI QP = 20, the background region QP is varied from 20 to 40;
for ROI QP = 37, and the background region QP is varied from 37 to 40.
The ROI was selected at the middle of the frame for all sequences.

Spatial resolution
 Base-layer (Layer 0)CIF (352 × 288)
 Enhancement layer (Layer 1)4CIF/SD (704 × 576)

Frame rate
 Base-layer (Layer 0)30 fps
 Enhancement layer (Layer 1)30 fps

Coding options usedMotion vector (MV) search range is 16; number of coded frames is 100 to 300; fast search is ON; number of reference frames is 1; GOP size is 16; GOP type is IPPP.
