METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SCALABLE VIDEO CODING Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC H04N19/33 H04N19/51 

FIELD: physics, computer engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to computer engineering. A method of coding a CU (coding unit) structure, coding mode information or encoding motion information for scalable video coding, wherein video data are configured into a base layer (BL) and an enhancement layer (EL) and wherein the EL has higher spatial resolution or better video quality than the BL, the method comprising: determining CU structure (coding unit structure), mode, motion information, or a combination of the CU structure, the mode and the motion information for a CU (coding unit) in the BL; and determining CU structure, mode, motion vector predictor (MVP) information, or a combination of the CU structure, the mode and the MVP information for a corresponding CU in the EL based on the CU structure, the mode, the motion information, or the combination of the CU structure, the mode and the motion information for the CU in the BL respectively; wherein the mode is skip mode, merge mode, or intra mode.

EFFECT: high efficiency of coding an enhancement layer.
