Flexible stream switching based on HEVC

This paper presents a flexible stream switching technique for HEVC. The proposed scheme allows to switch at any frame type and to increase the quality of the reconstructed video compared to basic stream switching. Additional information is inserted and encoded using a subset of SHVC coding modes. This technique maintains a low insertion rate of IDR/CRA pictures. Experimental results show that the overall performance is improved significantly.
