Transcoder architectures for video coding

Two different models for transcoding of H.263-based video streams are examined: rate reduction and resolution reduction. Results show that the computational complexity of the basic transcoding model can be reduced for each model by an average of 39% and 23% with less than 1 dB loss in quality for sequences with high motion. Comparisons with scalable video coding model are also presented.
