With scalable video coding the adaptation of video to heterogeneous terminals and networks can be efficiently achieved using together a layered coding hierarchy and bitstream extraction. Many video summarization techniques can be seen as a special case of structural adaptation. This paper describes how some of them can be modified and included in the framework of the recent scalable extension of H.264/AVC. The advantage of this approach is that summarization and adaptation are integrated into the same efficient framework.
