The image compression standard JPEG 2000 offers a high compression efficiency as well as a great flexibility in the way it accesses the content in terms of spatial location, quality level, and resolution. This paper explores how transmission systems conveying video surveillance sequences can benefit from this flexibility. Rather than transmitting each frame independently as it is generally done in the literature for JPEG 2000 based systems, we adopt a conditional replenishment scheme to exploit the temporal correlation of the video sequence. As a first contribution, we propose a rate-distortion optimal strategy to select the most profitable packets to transmit. As a second contribution, we provide the client with two references, the previous reconstructed frame and an estimation of the current scene background, which improves the transmission system performances.
