JPEG2000 How does a standard get made? Chaos and many years of intriguing political battle What is it? A very expensive document Why standardize? Interoperability JPEG2000 2
Standardization (5 years) Requirements Call for proposals Competition and evaluation Convergence (Core Experiments) Compliance testing (bit stream patters) Call for comments, voting Publication (IS nnnnn-m) JPEG2000 3

JPEG2000 The aim of the JPEG2000 is to develop a new still image coding standard for different types of still images (bilevel, gray-level, color, multicomponent, hypercomponent), with different characteristics (natural, scientific, medical, remote sensing, text, rendered graphics, compound, etc.), allowing different imaging models (client/server, real-time transmission, image library archival, limited buffer and bandwidth resources, etc.) preferably within a unified and integrated system. This coding system is intended for low bit-rate applications, exhibiting rate-distortion and subjective image quality performance superior to existing standards. JPEG2000 5
Where JPEG fails JPEG2000 Objectives Advanced standardized image coding system to serve applications into next millennium Provide features vital for high-end and emerging imaging applications Address areas where current standards fail to produce the best performance Provide capabilities to markets that currently do not use compression JPEG2000 6

Quantisation Scalar dead zone quantization Main compression gain obtained from the coding stage JPEG2000 26

Coding - EBCOT (HP/UNSW) Embedded Block Coding with Optimized Truncation (EBCOT) Each subband is partitioned into a set of blocks All blocks within a subband have the same size (possible exception for the blocks at the image boundaries) Blocks are encoded independently Post-processing operation determines the extent to which each block s bitstream should be truncated Final bitstream is composed of a collection of layers JPEG2000 28
