0n this paper: we propose a new super>resolution techni!ue based on interpolation of the
high>fre!uenc subband images obtained b discrete wa"elet transform B1KTC and the
input image. The proposed techni!ue uses 1KT to decompose an image into different
subband images. Then the high>fre!uenc subband images and the input low>resolution
image ha"e been interpolated: followed b combining all these images to generate a new
super>resol"ed image b using in"erse 1KT. The proposed techni!ue has been tested on
/ena: Elaine: Pepper: and Haboon. The !uantitati"e peak signal>to>noise ratio BP264C

a client can browse: select and access mo"ies: "ideo clips: sports e"ents:

pro"iding this ser"ice to bona fide/authori=ed client and collecting the regulated re"enues
without unauthori=ed persons duplicating/distributing the protected material. Khile
encrption schemes ha"e been de"eloped for storage media: B181: 8ideo 31 etcC: there
is an urgent need to eAtend and implement this approach to "ideo streaming o"er public
networks such as internet: satellite links: terrestrial and cable channels. The thesis b Hut
addresses this highl rele"ant and beneficial subject. Encrption techni!ues are applied to
-PE7>( coded bit streams such that with proper Bauthori=edC decrption ke: clients can
access and watch the "ideo of choice with out duplication/distribution. This approach
re!uires a thorough understanding of -PE7>( encoder/decoder algorithms together with
"ideo/audio sstems and as well the encrption details.
The author has proposed a range of modifications to the distributed ser"er design that will
lead to lower implementation costs and also increase the customer base. The de"elopment
of a -PE7>( partial selection scheme for encrption of streaming "ideo is significant
since the current encrption algorithms are mainl designed for encrption and protection
of stored "ideo. EAtension of the -PE7>( cipher to -PE7>' bit stream is discussed in

1irac is onl a "ideo codec. Khen we started the project 0 also had some audio engineers
on the team and we would ha"e liked to ha"e produced a roalt free audio codec too.
.nfortunatel we simpl didn\t ha"e the resources to do both. ?owe"er there are a
number of audio codecs that can be used with 1irac such as FF3 or -PE7 /aer '. 0
sa laer ' because 0 think it is roalt free and: for high !ualit audio: it has similar
performance to mp) Bat lower bit rates mp) is better of courseC. Hut people who looking
to use 1irac often want a roalt free codec and the ]iph organisation\s 8orbis codec is
!uite good.
0n order to use audio with 1irac it has to be wrapped in some container format. Ke ha"e
registered the use of 1irac in -PE7>' transport streams with the 2-PTE. This means
that ou can put 1irac into transport streams with an audio format supported b -PE7>
T2. These include: uncompressed audio: -PE7 laer ': -PE7 laer ): FF3 and
probabl others. 0\m not sure whether 8orbis is supported in -PE7>T2. Ke ha"e also
written specifications for 1irac in mp& files B.mo" filesC which allows associated audio.
Fnd we ha"e written a spec for 1irac in 5gg wrappers: which allow it to be used with
8orbis. 5gg is a popular media container with those who wish to use open source: roalt
free media. Ke are supporting 5gg b integrating 1irac into the libogg pla librar.
0n case ou did not know we ha"e integrated 1irac decoding into 8/3 media plaer and
encoding will be added in future releases Bit is alread in nightl builds 0 belie"eC. 2o:
soon with 8/3 media plaer Bwhich is cross platform open sourceC it should be possible
to transcode to 1irac and wrap in a "ariet of containers with a range of audio codecs. 5n
the /inuA onl side 1irac has been integrated into g2treamer.
-ost of our stuff is on the dirac"ideo.org web site. Ke\re standardi=ing the intra frame
"ersion of 1irac: for professional use: with the 2-PTE: so there are some conformance
test streams for that on dirac.kw.bbc.co.uk.

This document is a draft amendment to 0T.>T 4ec. ?.'+& , 025/0E3 (&&9+>(0 creating
a set of new profiles intended primaril for professional applications. 0t also defines two
new tpes of supplemental enhancement information B2E0C messages.
5ne such new profile is the ?igh &:&:& Predicti"e profile. The ?igh &:&:& Predicti"e
profile: as drafted herein: has two different &:&:& operation modes depending upon the
"alue of a new sntaA element: separateD colorDplaneDflag that is present in the
se!uence parameter set. Khen separateD
colorDplaneDflag is e!ual to 0: each macroblock contains both luma and chroma
samples: and a decoding process similar to the luma decoding process that is used in
the other profiles is used to decode the luma and chroma samples in each such
macroblock. Khen separateD
colorDplaneDflag is e!ual to (: the decoding process for monochrome
each color plane indi"iduall as a distinct picture. 0n addition: a new intra decoding
process that can be used b encoders to enable relati"el>efficient lossless coding is also
added for use when the !pprimeDD=eroDtransformDbpassDflag sntaA element is e!ual
to ( and EP\R is e!ual to 0. 0n the new ?igh &:&:& Predicti"e profile: the bit depth is also
eAtended up to (& bits per sample.
0n addition to adding the definition of the ?igh &:&:& Predicti"e profile: four other
profiles are also specified in this amendment. These profiles: referred to as the
?igh (0 0ntra: ?igh &:':' 0ntra: ?igh &:&:& 0ntra: and 3F8/3 &:&:& 0ntra profiles: ser"e
to enable applications demanding simple random>access and editing applications with
low dela capabilit. Each of these profiles contains coding capabilities that similar to
those of another corresponding profile: eAcept for elimination of support for the decoding
processes that in"ol"e inter>picture prediction and: in the case of the 3F8/3 &:&:& 0ntra
profile: the additional elimination of support for the 3FHF3 parsing process.
The two added 2E0 messages are the post>filter hint 2E0 message and the tone mapping
information 2E0 message. The post>filter hint 2E0 message pro"ides the coefficients of a
post>filter or correlation information for the design of a post>filter for potential use in
post>processing of the output decoded pictures to obtain impro"ed displaed !ualit. The
tone mapping information 2E0 message pro"ides information to enable remapping of the
color samples of the output decoded pictures for customi=ation to particular displa
en"ironments. 2ee the paper below.

developers in the field of high-end video compression. Fou can find

V1A has recently attracted a lot of interest after it was owned by
2oogle. As you !now, on +ay 46<6, the )eb+ 1roect was launched,
featuring contributions from B+o:illa, $pera, 2oogle and more than
forty other publishers, software and hardware vendorsB in a maor
effort to use V1A as the codec for *%+K8.
As one of appendixes to the annual *.453 comparison report
an additional V1A encoder vs. x453 encoder comparison was presented.
)e have tested V1A encoder and compare its encoding >uality and
speed with x453.
%he final report contains all &=-curves, bitrate handling analysis and
speed/>uality graphs. (ix different V1A presets were tested which
were chosen with the help of V1A developers "so those were V1A
developers guided settings#.
