Abstract
There is provided a technique for video encoding. The technique comprises downsampling at a downsampler (), an input video stream at a first resolution () to a second resolution (), the second resolution being lower than the first resolution. The technique uses a set of encoders to encode signals derived from the input video stream at the first spatial resolution and the second spatial resolution. There is also provided a pre-processing stage () to pre-process the input video stream at the first resolution () prior to the downsampling at downsampler (). The pre-processing comprises an application of a blurring filter () and a sharpening filter ().
