    Abstract: The disclosure lies in the field of coding image data, scalable in image resolution, such that one or more successive downsamplings are performed from a source signal of maximal image resolution to a minimal image resolution, in order to encode a base layer (L0) corresponding to this minimal resolution, the base layer (L0) serving as a reference for one or more enhancement layers (L1, L2) to be used for decoding at a terminal having a screen of higher image resolution than the minimal image resolution. From said successive downsamplings, the base layer (L0) and the one or more enhancement layers (L1, L2) are constructed, and then an encoded bit stream is prepared in order to be transmitted, comprising data of the base layer and of the enhancement layer or layers. In particular, the downsampling step comprises the application of an adaptive low-pass filter to the image data from the downsampling.

    Abstract: A method of method of processing an image includes: determining estimates of parameters of an auto-regressive, parametric model of noise, according to which a current noise pixel is computed combining linear combination of previous noise pixels in a causal neighborhood of the current noise pixel weighted by respective model linear combination parameters with a generated noise sample corresponding to an additive Gaussian noise of model variance parameter; performing a convergence check loop, each iteration including: generating a noise template of noise pixels based on the estimated model parameters, the noise template having predetermined pixel size smaller than the image pixel size; estimating a noise template variance; if the estimated variance is below a first predetermined threshold or above a second predetermined threshold, proportionally decreasing the model linear combination parameters with a predetermined correcting factor, and performing another convergence check loop; otherwise exiting the convergence check loop.
