Abstract

At the low compression ratio, the EBCOT engine of the JPEG 2000 encoder does not have to process all input data to achieve an optimal codestream in the sense of the rate-distortion criteria. This property is exploited in the architecture presented in this paper to allow higher throughputs of the JPEG 2000 encoder. An impact of the code block size and the internal FIFO size on the resultant speed is considered. The architecture is described in VHDL and synthesized for commercial FPGA technology. Simulation results show that at low compression ratios and for FPGA Stratix II devices, the single engine can support HDTV standards.
