Summary form only given. Transport of reversible and unreversible embedded wavelets (TRUEW) is a system for the portion delivery of compressed JPEG 2000 files over a network. A discussion on the development of the TRUEW architecture, the benefits of the TRUEW architecture, an efficiency analysis of tile-part and precint access to JPEG 2000 compressed images, and some comments on potential applications of interactive image access are presented. Computations show that for an example access pattern, TRUEW provides comparable performance in terms of disk accesses and data transferred with more complex precinct based systems.
