Dual layer video stream in HEVC through information hiding

A dual layer video streaming technique is proposed by utilizing information hiding technique. Based on the HEVC standard, our technique utilizes the coding unit size in each slice of a higher resolution video to embed a different video which is of lower resolution. Result shows that, with a perceptual quality degradation of <; 1%, a higher resolution video can be simultaneously streamed with an embedded video of lower resolution.
