JPEG2000 Image Compression Standard

Advantages of JPEG2000
Eliminates the blocky appearance of the

JPEG image standard.

This is because it uses a wavelet transform instead of the discrete cosine transform (DCT). In the previous DCT version, blocks of the image are compressed individually without reference to the adjoining blocks. Using a DWT creates a much smoother image.

Advantages of JPEG2000
The compression rate is much higher, while

the retention rate is the same, and often, better resolution is exhibited.
20%-200% better than JPEG Standard with lossy compression Able to compress lossless with same engine, whereas, JPEG Standard only achieves lossy compression

Building JPEG2000
The simplified version of the steps of this

process is illustrated below.

Quantization
qb(u,v) = [sign(qb(u,v))]*[floor(abs(qb(u,v))/ b)]
qb(u,v) is transformed Coefficient

b is the quantization step size

One quantization step-size is allowed (Lossless compression)
