JPEG2000 - A Short Tutorial

This document is intended for people who want to “be aware” of some of the mechanisms underlying the JPEG2000 image compression standard [2]. While writing this tutorial my objective was to give to the reader the feeling of what goes on when compressing images with JPEG2000 . Hence, this tutorial should be regarded as introductory material which requires further reading to reach a deeper understanding of the topics presented. The text has not undergone a critical review process, so it might contain mistakes (and it contains lots of them, that’s for sure!) and lack clarity.
