The first two chapters provide an overview of the principles and theory of data and image compression with numerous examples. In Chapter 3, we review the current JPEG still standard for image compression, discuss the advantages and disadvantages of current JPEG, and the need for the new JPEG2000 standard for still image compression. We discuss the principles of discrete wavelet transformation and its implementation using both the convolution approach and the lifting approach in Chapter 4. In this chapter, we discuss the theory of multiresolution analysis and also the principles of lifting factorization for efficient implementation of discrete wavelet transform. In Chapter 5, we discuss VLSI algorithms and architectures
for implementation of discrete wavelet transform and review different architectures for lifting-based implementation. In Chapters 6 to 8, we concentrate on descriptions of the JPEG2000 building blocks, details of the coding algorithms with examples, code-stream organization using JPEG2000 syntax, and formation of the compressed file of the JPEG2000 standard. Chapter 9 is devoted to the VLSI architectures of the standard in great detail, which cannot be found in current books in the marketplace. In Chapter 9, we also summarize the latest results and developments in this area. Chapter 10 provides a discussion on the JPEG2000 extensions and other parts of the standards as of writing this book. Every chapter includes sufficient references relevant to the discussion. Download free multimedia ebook: JPEG2000 Standard for Image Compression
