Metadata hiding for content adaptation

Abstract

In this paper, we propose an application of data hiding, especially for content adaptation, where one can reduce computational time and get better transcoding results or quality. Hiding some useful information for content adaptation can help content transcoder to do effective transcoding so that one can achieve lower complexity as well as better quality in content adaptation. Experimental results show that the proposed method, based on data hiding, gives effectiveness to content adaptation with reasonable subjective quality.
