Abstract
Rate scalable video compression is appealing for low bit rate applications, such as video telephony and wireless communication, where bandwidth available to an
application cannot be guaranteed. In this paper, we investigate
a set of strategies to increase the performance of SAMCoW, a rate scalable encoder [1, 2]. These techniques
are based on based on wavelet decomposition, spatial orientation trees, and motion compensation.
