Scalable HEVC 표준 기술 동향

Abstract

네트워크 기술과 멀티미디어 압축 기술이 발달함에 따라 사용자들은 고화질의 멀티미디어 콘텐츠를 무선 환경에서도 끊김 없이 제공 받기를 원하고 있다. 또한, 스마트폰과 스마트패드와 같은 다양한 멀티미디어 장치가 일상생활에서 보편적으로 사용되면서 디바이스 간에 끊김 없는 미디어의 연동을 가능케 하는 N-스크린 서비스가 점차 확산되고 있다. 이러한 시장의 흐름에 발맞춰 JCT-VC (Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding)는 차세대 동영상 압축 표준 기술인 HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding)를 바탕으로 공간적 (Spatial), 화질적 (Temporal) 스케일러빌리티 (Scalability)를 제공하는 확장 표준인 SHVC (Scalable HEVC)를 표준화 중에 있다. JCT-VC는 SHVC 부호화 기술들을 평가하기 위하여 SCE (Scalable Core Experiment)를 진행하고 있으며, SHVC 표준은 2014년 6월에 표준화가 완료 될 것으로 예상된다. 본 고에서는 비디오 스케일 러빌리티의 기본 개념 및 SHVC 표준화 과정에서 제안된 주요부호화 기술들과 이슈들을 소개한다.
