need help in JSVM software

[MOROO]

Hi,

I am a junior researcher in image coding, I'm supposed to work in Scalable Video Coding SVC, which attempts to deliver multiple versions of a video sequence at different operational points.

the software I'm using is JSVM 9.19.14, but I'm facing great problems in understanding the software and it's stages. I need to trace the code so that i can understand the encoder in depth and find the part that I can contribute in. but i don't know what is the best way of doing such tracing.

May you please give me a hand as the code is very long and difficult to follow when first start looking at it. or point me to the appropriate place in the code for solving the bit allocation problem for SVC.

thanks in advance,

I agree that the software is very hard to read. As far as I know there is some basic documentation which comes with it, but this will hardly suffice to understand all of the internals. A good place to ask may be the JVT experts mailing lists. Note that the SVC mailing list from JVT has been shut down some time ago, so the JVT experts list is now a good place for specific questions.

or point me to the appropriate place in the code for solving the bit allocation problem for SVC.

What exactly do you mean by that?

Best regards

Thanks a lot for your reply, the JSVM is very long and difficult to follow, I'm in need for pointing me to the appropriate place in the code corresponding to my work.

I'm interested in "Bit Allocation for Spatial Scalability coding of H.264/SVC" . so i need to know where exactly in the code the distortion is calculated (Rate control)

Regads,
