Abstract

The features of JPEG2000, an international standard for still image compression, include (1) high coding performance, (2) unified lossless/lossy compression, (3) resolution and SNR scalability. Resolution scalability is an especially promising feature given the popularity of super high definition (SHD) images like digital-cinema. Unfortunately, its current implementation of resolution scalability is restricted to powers of two. We introduce a non-octave resolution conversion method that is compatible with JPEG2000 part2. By using the proposed algorithm, images of various resolutions can be decoded from a compressed JPEG2000 part2 code stream. Experimental results from digital-cinema test sequences show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
