Abstract

This disclosure describes scalable video coding techniques. In particular, the techniques may be used to encode refinements of a video block for enhancement layer bit streams in a single coding pass, thereby reducing coding complexity, coding delay and memory requirements. In some instances, the techniques encode each nonzero coefficient of a coefficient vector of the enhancement layer without knowledge of any subsequent coefficients. Coding the enhancement layer in a single pass may eliminate the need to perform a first pass to analyze the coefficient vector and a second pass for coding the coefficient vector based on the analysis.
