JPEG2000 is a new standard that was developed to take over the widely used JPEG standard. In JPEG2000, the use of wavelet transform and EBCOT greatly improves the quality of the image and the compression ratio. They do, however, take up a lot of processing time. We therefore implemented the processing intensive tasks, namely the reversible discrete wavelet transform (DWT), arithmetic encoding, ...

JPEG-2000 is the latest image coding standard and is based on wavelet transforms and dyadic spectral decompositions. We have adapted the JPEG-2000 image coder for use with uniform transforms, by replacing the wavelet stage by lapped transforms. We set code-blocks that do not cross subband boundaries and encode the lapped transform coefficients directly as if they were wavelet ones. Results indi...

JPEG-LS, the well-known international standard for lossless and near-lossless image compression, was originally designed for non-scalable applications. In this paper we propose a scalable modification of JPEG-LS and compare it with the leading image and video coding standards JPEG2000 and H.264/SVC intra for low-complexity constraints of some wireless video applications including graphics.

In this paper, image compression algorithms have reviewed for transmission over wireless networks. The performance evaluation is based on PNSR, bit-rate, computational complexity etc. and is evaluated using Advanced Image Coding software. It has observed that compression efficiences are reasonably comparable for the JPEG 2000 and AIC, which outperforms the conventional JPEG. Baseline JPEG 2000 ...

The JPEG[1] (Joint Photographic Experts Group) introduced a still image graphics format in 1987, known as JPEG. The process flow in the baseline mode, converts color images to 8x8 block based DCT mostly applied for gray images, then we applied quantization for the DCT in zigzag ordering, and obtained entropy coding using Huffman tables in the encoding process is obtained and vice versa for deco...

In this paper we investigate the possibility of improving the overall perception of image quality by preferentially coding certain regions of interest (ROI) in an image. Experiments are conducted utilising an automated algorithm for visual attention (VA) to detect the primary ROI(s) in an image, and then encoding the image using the maxshift algorithm of JPEG 2000. The results from a 2 alternat...

This work proposes a preprocessing method for image compression based on attribute filtering. This method is completely shape preserving and computationally cheap. Three filters were investigated, including one derived from the power filter of Evans and Young that removes even more perceptually unimportant information. The results from 22 images that were processed in various ways and compresse...

In this paper we report results from our comparative study of JPEG and JPEG2000 image coders using two image quality measures: Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) as traditional objective picture quality measure, and Picture Quality Scale as perception based quantitative picture quality measure. Coders are evaluated in ratedistortion sense. The influences of different image contents and compressi...
