A technique to generate more efficient scalable video streams
compared to other commonly used methods.
The Technology
Prof David Taubman has developed an improved method for producing scalable video and a system for implementing this method for network streaming. The technique is based upon the use of block coding to provide a selectable set of blocks to be transmitted for the required resolution. Video content may be augmented over time as bandwidth becomes available, increasing quality, frame rate and resolution that is available for the client.
This method produces improved compression over other techniques increasing the video quality for individual viewers at a specific bandwidth. The technique is particularly effective used in conjunction with the associated scalable video technology employing motion compensated lifting.
Key Benefits
Applications
The Opportunity
NewSouth Innovations is currently looking for partners to licence the technologies developed by Prof David Taubman, the inventor of the successful Kakadu Software JPEG2000 compression SDK. Due to the similarities across the portfolio these technologies are available as a group or individually for use in potential licensee’s commercial products
