| Abstract: |
A video compression standard incorporates many tools and technologies which must be licensed by systems that deploy the standard. The licensing determines the royalty costs that must be paid to the holders of intellectual property on the respective tools. With current abundance of well understood and effective video compression tools, one can imagine the formation of cross cutting tool libraries with tools drawn from different video compression standards. This allows dynamic selection from a large pool of tools, having potentially overlapping functionality, when encoding individual video sequences. In this paper we examine the royalty cost aspect of the scenario where video is encoded using a library of royalty bearing tools by considering encoding that jointly optimizes rate, distortion, and royalty cost. We provide a system that optimizes video delivery under various licensing conditions imposed on tool intellectual property. We present an example of royalty based encoding (using assumed royalty costs) to show the merit of the proposed framework. |
