HEVC的可伸缩版本SHVC介绍及配置（多个增强层）

1. 参考文档及代码下载

1.1 SHVC官网 上面有相关资料及一篇Overview：“Overview of SHVC: Scalable Extensions of the High Efficiency Video Coding Standard”
1.2 开始入门SHVC，建议看一些国内的硕士论文，有些论文写的比较详细，可以参考。
1.3 参考软件 SHM下载及安装跟HEVC类似。使用高版本VS需要升级工程。在编译时可能会报错:int_least8_t”: 不是“`global namespace’”的成员等错误，参考博客，将VS自带的stdint.h文件代替compat/msvc下的stdint.h文件。

2. SHVC平台配置及简介

2.1配置一个增强层

可以参考博客
编码配置：
TAppEncoder.exe -c cfg/encoder_randomaccess_main.cfg -c cfg/per-sequence-svc/BasketballDrive-2x.cfg –c cfg/layers.cfg
解码配置（以一个基本层+一个增强层为例）
TAppDecoder.exe -ls 2 -b BasketballDrive.bin -o0 recBL.yuv -o1 recEL.yuv

layers_avcbase 表示的是avc来编码基础层。
layers表示hevc来编码基础层。
-ls 2 表示两个层
-b BasketballDrive.bin 是已存在的码率文件
-o0 recBL.yuv 输出重建的基本层yuv，是原视频分辨率下采样后的尺寸
-o1 recEL.yuv 输出重建的增强层yuv，是原视频分辨率大小

2.2配置多个增强层

SHVC配置文件默认为一个增强层，且做标准时也只测试一个增强层的性能来决定是否接收对应的提案，但是SHVC支持多个增强层。下面的配置个人验证是对的，如果有问题可以在下面评论。

2.2.1

首先需要在cfg\per-sequence-svc文件夹下将序列的配置更改，以3个增强层的配置为例

FrameSkip                     : 0           # Number of frames to be skipped in input
