Abstract

This paper proposes to replace the Intraframes of MPEG- 2 with JPEG2k coded bitstreams governed by the syntax of MPEG-2 spatial scalability. The paper elaborates upon the proposed coding architectures and compatibility with published MPEG standards. The proposed coding architecture is compared against counterpart video transcoders, scalable and single layer codecs. It is shown that the proposed spatial encoder is either comparable or superior to all the aforementioned codecs whilst enjoying an extensible architecture capable of serving restricted end systems and hosting additional scalable layers such as SNR and temporal scalabilities.
