  1. About JPEG2000 • New image coding system based on wavelet technology • In 2004, it was selected as the mandatory compression format for Digital Cinema

  2. License-free • Improved Compression Efficiency • Mathematically Lossless Compression • Graceful Degradation • Scalability • Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation • Robust Transmission • Easy Post-Production • Region of Interest (ROI) • Low Latency • Constant Quality through Multiple Generations • Encoding - Decoding Processing Power • Open Standard

  3. License-Free • The JPEG committee has stated: • “Standards should be implementable without payment of royalty and license fees” • “Agreements have been reached with over 20 large organizations to allow use of their IP without payment of license fees or royalties”

  4. Improved Compression Efficiency

  5. Mathematically Lossless Compression • It enables a reduction in storage requirement of, on average, 1:2 while still being able to recover the exact original image information. • Extremely important feature in fields such as digital archiving, cinema acquisition and medical imaging. • Unique advantage in comparison to JPEG, MPEG2, MPEG4

  6. Graceful Degradation • In JPEG 2000 the effect of image compression is a soft blur on high-frequency areas Image compressed with JPEG 2000 with a compression ratio of 400:1 Image compressed with JPEG 2000 with a 2:1 compression ratio

  7. Scalability • JPEG 2000 is able to extract multiple versions out of a single compressed file • This scalability provides • Easy proxy generation • Region of Interest • Bandwidth optimization and adaptative transmission

  8. Example of a Progression in Quality

  9. Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation • JPEG 2000 scalability over highly variable channels (over-IP or Wireless) provides a powerful dynamic quality allocation. • Giving priority to fundamental data packets allows ‘best achievable quality’ for the available bandwidth • Increasing redundancy of fundamental data packets also guarantees a minimum image quality for weak signals

  10. Robust Transmission • JPEG 2000 intrinsic robustness prevents having dramatic visual impact when packets are missing or corrupted • JPEG 2000 intra-frame nature gives another advantage to long-GOP formats: it limits the impact of the missing or corrupt packet to a single frame

  11. Easy Post-Production • Easy-Proxy From a single file editors can extract a proxy and use full resolution image for the rendering chain • Easy Editing Intra-frame coding enables editors to easily access each frame

  12. Region Of Interest (ROI) • JPEG 2000 is also able to prioritize a user defined area of the image, to which it will provide the full quality layer

  13. Low Latency • Intra-frame allows every frame to be encoded independently allowing latency of less than 1 frame • In comparison, inter-frame encoding formats (e.g. MPEG2, MPEG4) need to work with Groups of Pictures (GOP) that require a longer processing time……. • Low latency is a critical consideration in many applications………………..

  14. Constant Quality Through Multiple Generations • Successive encoding-decoding passes are usually required throughout the Broadcast and Digital Cinema post-production processing chain • JPEG 2000 provides a constant image quality throughout the production process

  15. Processing Power • JPEG 2000 is a symmetrical compression technology requiring approximately the same processing power to encode or to decode at any compression quality • The JPEG 2000 standard supports every resolution, color depth, number of components and frame rate • It is the image compression format most ready to address future applications Open Standard

  16. Pre-Processing • Wavelet Transform • Compression • Rate Control • Data Ordering

  17. Pre-Processing • The pre-processing block mainly deals with color conversion (or decorrelation): • RGB  YCbCr (Irreversible Color Transform) • RGB  YUV (Reversible Color Transform)

  18. The Discrete Wavelet Transform • Components are passed recursively through low and high pass Wavelet filters • This enables an intra-component de-correlation that concentrates the image information in a small and very localized area and multi-resolution image representation

  19. How Wavelet Decomposition Achieves Multi-Resolution

  20. Compression of the Wavelet Coefficients • By itself the Wavelet Transform does not compress image data; it restructures the image information so that it is easier to compress • Once the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) has been applied, the output is quantized. The quantized data is then encoded in the Entropy Coding Unit (ECU)

  21. Rate Control • Given a targeted bit-rate, the Rate-Control module adjusts the coding precision of each pixel (small groups of pixels called code-blocks) • It embeds all groups of pixels in a succession of Packets. These Packets, along with additional headers, form the final JPEG 2000 code-stream • In the last ‘data ordering’ block the preferred scalability (or progression order) is selected Data Ordering

  22. Codestream Syntax

  23. The Implementation • intoPIX provides the most flexible and powerful range of JPEG 2000 implementations available • intoPIX efficient image processing allows implementation on a single FPGA • intoPIX technology currently addresses Digital Cinema and Broadcast markets. • Since 2004 intoPIX founders have been the editors of the reference open source code - openJPEG: www.openjpeg.org www.intopix.com
