JPEG 2000 is a wavelet-based image compression standard created by the Joint Photographic Experts Group committee with the intention of superseding their original DCT-based JPEG standard.
Some of the major objectives of the JPEG 2000 still image coding standard were compression and memory efficiency, lossy to lossless coding, support for continuous-tone to bi-level images, error resilience, and random access to regions of interest. This presentation will provide readers with some insight on the basic coding structure of the baseline JPEG 2000 algorithm and various features and functionalities supported by the standard. It can serve as a guideline for users to evaluate the effectiveness of JPEG 2000 for various applications, and to develop JPEG 2000 compliant software.
Introduction
Since the release of the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) still image coding standard in 1994 [1], it has been widely adopted in applications...
