Summary :

JPEG2000, an international standard for still image compression, offers 1) high coding performance, 2) unified lossless/lossy compression, and 3) resolution and SNR scalability. Resolution scalability is an especially promising attribute 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. In this paper, we introduce non-octave scalable coding (NSC) based on the use of filter banks. Two types of non-octave scalable coding are implemented. One is based on a DCT filter bank and the other uses wavelet transform. The latter is compatible with JPEG2000 Part2. By using the proposed algorithm, images with rational scale resolutions can be decoded from a compressed bit stream. Experiments on digital cinema test material show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
