Abstract: An original image is up-sampled to a final image by constructing at least two sub-banded filtered images of the original image with 2D wavelet-based decomposition filters, each filtered image being of the same resolution as the original image. Each sub-banded filtered image is then mapped into a larger filtered image of the same size as the final image. Pixels in each larger filtered image which were not mapped in from the sub-banded filtered images are interpolated or left blank. The larger filtered images are then filtered with 2D reconstruction filters and combined to form the final up-sampled image. The invention has the advantage that high quality up-sampled images can be created in real time suitable for high definition video.

At least the base sub-band is transmitted to a far end endpoint to permit image reconstruction at the far end endpoint at a degree of resolution dependent on the number of sub-bands used to reconstruct the image.
