Distortion-Energy Analysis of an OMAP-Based H.264/SVC Decoder

This paper describes a Pareto frontier estimate of a scalable video decoder embedded in an OMAP-based multimedia terminal within the distortion-energy optimization space. A metric to estimate video distortion has been introduced. In addition, energy consumption estimates are obtained from real time measurements of the computational load. Finally, test-bench operation is successfully demonstrated with different H.264/SVC-compliant sets of sequences.
