Abstract

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.
