In this paper, we introduce a new scanning method for MPEG-4 AVC based Fine Granular Scalable video coding that can significantly improve the subjective picture quality of a decoded scalable video. The proposed scanning method can guarantee the subjectively improved picture qualify of the decoded scalable video by encoding, transmitting and decoding the visually important region most-preferentially. From the simulation results, it has been found that the proposed scanning method can lead the FGS method to achieve significantly improved picture quality, especially on the region of interests.
