Server-Driven Progressive Image Transmission

摘要

A system and method generates a progressive codestream representing an image. The codestream of packets representing an image is parsed to obtain a parsed packets and metadata for each parsed packet. The parsed packets are decomposed to decomposed packets according to the metadata and a progressive transmission policy. The decomposed packets are assigned to sequentially arranged segments according to the metadata and the transmission policy, in which each segment includes a header, and in which an ordering of the packet in the codestream is different than an ordering of the decomposed packets in the plurality of segments. A client composes the decomposed packets according to the header in the segments to progressively reconstruct the image in the client.
