Abstract: Disclosed is a method for encoding data corresponding to a video sequence, into a spatial resolution scalable binary flow, including a base layer and enhancement layer. The method includes, for a frame of the sequence: obtaining, from the frame, a first frame, partitioning the first frame into blocks, each block having a given size, and encoding a block of the first frame to generate the base layer; obtaining, from the frame, a second frame; partitioning the second frame into blocks by inferring the initial size of a block from the size of a corresponding block in the first frame, the block of the second frame having an initial spatial resolution; determining a spatial encoding resolution associated with the block from a set of predetermined spatial resolutions; and coding data representative of the at block, based on the determined spatial encoding resolution, to generate an enhancement layer.

Abstract: A method for forming an image sequence that is an output sequence, from an input image sequence, is provided. The input image sequence has an input spatial resolution and an input temporal resolution. The output sequence has an output temporal resolution equal to the input temporal resolution and an output spatial resolution equal to a predetermined fraction 1/N of the input spatial resolution by an integer number N higher than or equal to 2. The method, implemented for a sub-sequence of the input frame sequence that is a current input sub-sequence and including a preset number of images, includes: obtaining a temporal frequency that is an image frequency, associated with the current input sub-sequence; processing the current input sub-sequence to obtain an output sub-sequence; and inserting the output sub-sequence and the associated image frequency into an output container.
