CESG E-Poll Identifier: CESG-P-2014-12-004 
Approval to publish CCSDS 766.1-B-1, Digital 
Motion Imagery (Blue Book, Issue 1)
Results of CESG poll beginning 30 December 2014 and ending 16 January 2015:

                  Abstain:  0 (0%)
  Approve Unconditionally:  2 (40%) (Peccia, Barkley)
  Approve with Conditions:  2 (40%) (Shames, Calzolari)
  Disapprove with Comment:  1 (20%) (Scott)

CONDITIONS/COMMENTS:

Peter Shames (Approve with Conditions): The DMI 
Blue Book (766x1b1) and the Test report 
(760.1-Y-11) are inconsistent and apparently not 
completely compliant with CCSDS Blue Book 
criteria. The particular issue is with JPEG 2000 and also with DTN.

The BB includes sections on JPEG 2000 that are 
stated as requirements. Refer to the marked up 
copy attached, particularly Sec 3.4.4.2 and 
3.6.1.2. It also includes a DTN section 3.6.3.

In the YB test report the text explicitly states 
" JPEG2000 video compression for real-time 
transmission has not been tested". There is a 
reference in Sec 4.2 Summary of Tests, in the 
table, suggesting that JPEG2000 was tested, but 
this appears to be an error since there is an 
earlier statement "no implementations have been 
made of JPEG2000 in spacecraft and none are currently planned".

Similarly there does not appear to have been any 
testing done of DTN for transmission of video streams.

Conditions:

1) Remove all normative references to JPEG 2000 from the BB
2) Remove the normative reference to DTN from the BB
3) Align the BB and YB to reflect what has actually been tested

Alternatively:

1) Do the testing of JPEG 2000 and/or DTN
2) Align the BB and YB to reflect what has actually been tested

Erik Barkley (Approve Unconditionally): Comments 
(but not conditions): The test report offered 
description of various equipment 
configurations/connections as the results. It 
seems that if verification of the proposed 
referenced industry standards for transmission of 
motion imagery were being tested some sort of 
pre-planned video sequence would have been tested 
with verification of video as recorded locally 
and as received remotely would have been good, 
with some assessment as to color values, aspect 
ratios, frame rates, etc being preserved, with 
respect or test images etc. Perhaps at least a 
note indicating the design of the test(s) and 
expected results needs to be added?

Gian Paolo Calzolari (Approve with Conditions): 
Clarify the normative part about transmission over CFDP or over DTN.
Condition limited as SIS AD has already disapproved this publication.

Keith Scott (Disapprove with Comment): Motion 
JPEG 2000 and DTN were supposed to be 
non-normative, but they seem to be normative in 
this version. I'm pretty sure this is going to 
require some rework and another agency review.
