Abstract

A method for decoding a stream encoded using a scalable video coding and including a plurality of layers of frames divided into a plurality of blocks, decodes block-wise in parallel the layers of the stream. A target block in an enhancement layer is decoded as soon as the block data required for its decoding are available from the reference layer.
