Texture-synthesis　based　video　coding　is　a　newly　emerged　video　coding　method　which　is　employed　to　reduce　the　bit-rate　of　texture　region.　With　the　increasing　amount　of　different　terminals　currently　available,　scalability　is　also　an　important　concern　of　the　state-of-the-art　video　coding　standards.　Due　to　its　intensive　calculation　instinct,　in　texture-synthesis　based　video　coding　scheme,　more　emphases　should　be　put　on　its　ability　of　bit-rate　saving,　and　the　reduction　of　computational　complexity.　In　this　paper,　we　propose　a　scalable　strategy　for　texture-synthesis　based　video　coding　methodology,　which　mainly　focus　on　bit-rate　and　computation　scalability.　Two　parameters　are　used　to　control　bit-rate　and　computational　complexity　of　the　decoder.　Experimental　results　show　that　the　proposed　strategy　can　provide　our　texture-synthesis　based　codec　with　significant　scalability　of　bit-rate　and　computational　complexity.　Copyright　2009　ACM.
