With excellent image quality at low bit rate, progressive transmission, scalability, region-of-interest coding, random access, error resilience, and many other salient features, the JPEG2000 standard for scalable image compression is rapidly becoming the cornerstone of today's innovative multimedia industry.

Providing comprehensive and accessible coverage of the new JPEG2000 standard, this timely and authoritative text provides a clear overview of both the theory and principles behind the algorithms, and a solid foundation of multimedia compression techniques. Written by one of JPEG2000's key developers, this crucial reference features:

  • Introduction of the compression principles for different multimedia data-types
  • A review of the current JPEG standard, its advantages and disadvantages
  • Principles of Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and its efficient implementation
  • VLSI architectures for Discrete Wavelet Transform and case studies
  • Details of the underlying core algorithms, code-stream organization, and formation of the compressed file for the JPEG2000 standard
  • The VLSI implementation of JPEG2000 for hardware such as digital cameras, color faxes, printers, scanners, etc.
  • A discussion of open issues not clearly defined by the standard

Numerous practical examples, illustrations, and related references, plus a discussion of open issues makes this text a must-have for electrical engineering and computer science students and practitioners alike.

Publisher Description:
JPEG2000 Standard for Image Compression presents readers with the basic background to this multimedia compression technique and prepares the reader for a detailed understanding of the JPEG2000 standard, using both the underlying theory and the principles behind the algorithms of the JPEG2000 standard for scalable image compression. It introduces the VLSI architectures and algorithms for implementation of the JPEG2000 standard in hardware (not available in the current literature), an important technology for a number of image processing applications and devices such as digital camera, color fax, printer, and scanners.
