Opis

Your definitive guide to state-of-the-art image compression

With excellent image quality at low bit rate, progressive transmission, scalability, region-of-interest coding, random access, error resilience, and many other salient features, the JPEG2000 standard for scalable image compression is rapidly becoming the cornerstone of today’ s innovative multimedia industry.

Providing comprehensive and accessible coverage of the new JPEG2000 standard, this timely and authoritative text provides a clear overview of both the theory and principles behind the algorithms, and a solid foundation of multimedia compression techniques. Written by one of JPEG2000’ s key developers, this crucial reference features:

• Introduction of the compression principles for different multimedia data-types
• A review of the current JPEG standard, its advantages and disadvantages
• Principles of Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and its efficient implementation
• VLSI architectures for Discrete Wavelet Transform and case studies
• Details of the underlying core algorithms, code-stream organization, and formation of the compressed file for the JPEG2000 standard
• The VLSI implementation of JPEG2000 for hardware such as digital cameras, color faxes, printers, scanners, etc.
• A discussion of open issues not clearly defined by the standard

Numerous practical examples, illustrations, and related references, plus a discussion of open issues makes this text a must-have for electrical engineering and computer science students and practitioners alike.
