JPEG2000: The upcoming still image compression standard

2000

Abstract With the increasing use of multimedia technologies, image compression requires higher performance as well as new features. To address this need in the specific area of still image encoding, a new standard is currently being developed, the JPEG2000. It is not only intended to provide rate-distortion and subjective image quality performance superior to existing standards, but also to provide features and functionalities that current standards can either not address efficiently or in many cases cannot address at all.

ABSTRACT JPEG 2000, the new ISO/ITU-T standard for still image coding, is about to be finished. Other new standards have been recently introduced, namely JPEG-LS and MPEG-4 VTC. This paper puts into perspective the performance of these by evaluating JPEG 2000 versus JPEG-LS and MPEG-4 VTC, as well as the older but widely used JPEG. The study concentrates on compression efficiency, although complexity and set of supported functionalities are also evaluated.

To address this need in the specific area of still image encoding, a new standard is currently being developed, the JPEC2000. It is not only intended to provide rate-distortion and subjective image quality performance superior to existing standards, but also to provide features and functionalities that current standards can either not address efficiently or in many cases cannot address at all. Lossless and lossy compression, embedded lossy to lossless coding, progressive transmission by pixel accuracy and by resolution, robustness to the presence of bit-errors and region-of-interest coding, are some representative features. It is interesting to note that JPEG2000 is being designed to address the requirements of a diversity of applications, e.g. Internet, color facsimile, printing, scanning, digital photography, remote sensing, mobile applications, medical imager...

This paper presents an overview of the upcoming JPEG2000 still picture compression standard. JPEG2000 is not only intended to provide rate-distortion and subjective image quality performance superior to existing JPEG standard, but to also provide functionality that the current JPEG standard can either not address efficiently nor address at all. Lossless and lossy compression, encoding of very large images, progressive transmission by pixel accuracy and by resolution, robustness to the presence of bit-errors and region-of-interest coding, are some representative examples of its features.

Abstract JPEG 2000, the new ISO/ITU-T standard for still image coding, is about to be finished. Other new standards have been recently introduced, namely JPEG-LS and MPEG-4 VTC. This paper compares the set of features offered by JPEG 2000, and how well they are fulfilled, versus JPEG-LS and MPEG-4 VTC, as well as the older but widely used JPEG and the PNG. The study concentrates on the set of supported features, although lossless and lossy progressive compression efficiency results are also reported.

JPEG2000, the new standard for still image coding, Quantization, user defined wavelets, arbitrary wavelet provides a new framework and an integrated toolbox to better decompositions, general scaling-based ROI coding, and address increasing needs for compression. It offers a wide advanced error resilience schemes (Fig. 1). It is actually a range of functionalities such as lossless and lossy coding, toolbox with technologies useful for various specialized embedded lossy to lossless coding, progression by resolution applications. Part 3 defines motion JPEG2000 (MJ2 or and quality, high compression efficiency, error resilience and MJP2) and is based on Part 1 of JPEG2000. MJ2 will be region-of-interest (ROI) coding.

2002

JPEG 2000, the new ISO/ITU-T standard for still image coding, has recently reached the International Standard (IS) status. Other new standards have been recently introduced, namely JPEG-LS and MPEG-4 VTC. This paper provides a comparison of JPEG 2000 with JPEG-LS and MPEG-4 VTC, in addition to older but widely used solutions, such as JPEG and PNG, and well established algorithms, such as SPIHT.
