Presently, the scalable extension of the HEVC standard (known as SHVC) is under development. One of the main issues with SHVC is its increased complexity compared to its non-scalable counterpart (i.e., HEVC). Reducing the complexity of SHVC is important, especially for real-time applications. In this paper, we propose an adaptive search range method that reduces the coding complexity of HEVC with spatial scalability by up to 30.27%, while maintaining the overall bitrate.
