Low-complexity JPEG-based progressive video codec for wireless video transmission

This paper discusses the question of video codec enhancement for wireless video transmission of high definition video data taking into account constraints on memory and complexity. Starting from parameter adjustment for JPEG2000 compression algorithm used for wireless transmission and achieving the best possible results by tuning settings, this work proceeds to develop a low-complexity progressive codec based on JPEG, which is compared to the tuned JPEG2000. Comparison to H.264/SVC for this codec is also given. As the results show, our simple solution on low rates can compete with JPEG2000 and H.264/SVC for specific video content.
