Resolution Scalable Motion-Compensated JPEG 2000

This paper proposes two motion-compensated extensions to JPEG 2000 for the efficient scalable compression of video. The first one is a rather conventional pyramid coder with MCTF on each spatial level and a closed loop coding structure. The second one is a novel open-loop coder that preserves the full scalability of the high-spatial level. We show that for certain reasonable values of high-resolution and low- resolution bitrates that both coders have approximately equal performance, with the new open-loop coder retaining full scalability advantages.
