Abstract:
A video encoding system performs packetization of FGS/PFGS encoded video bitstreams by selecting encoded bitstream segments for packetization based on an estimated total contribution to distortion reduction associated with each encoded bitstream segment. The selected bitstream segments are then packetized according to a packet-independence packetization strategy that minimizes inter-packet dependency.
