Taubman, David S. and Michael W. Marcellin. 2002. JPEG2000: Standard for Interactive Imaging. Proceedings of the IEEE 90, no. 8: 1336-1357.

This review article provides an in-depth study of the wavelet technology used by JPEG2000, a description of how the file format supports tiling, layer separation, and segmented retrieval, and a comparison with the original JPEG standard.

Author Abstract

JPEG2000 is the latest image compression standard to emerge from the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) working under the auspices of the International Standards Organization. Although the new standard does offer superior compression performance to JPEG, JPEG2000 provides a whole new way of interacting with compressed imagery in a scalable and interoperable fashion. This paper provides a tutorial-style review of the new standard, explaining the technology on which it is based and drawing comparisons with JPEG and other compression standards. The paper also describes new work, exploiting the capabilities of JPEG2000 in client-server systems for efficient interactive browsing of images over the internet.
