JPEG2000: Image Compression Fundamentals, Standards and Practice is an essential reference for professional engineers and academic researchers in the fields of communication, image processing, signal processing, information theory, and multimedia. It has specific applications for those involved in the development of software and hardware solutions for multimedia, internet, and medical imaging applications, and for those pursuing research in image and video compression. The book is suitable as a primary text for a course in image compression; it would also be helpful in the context of a more general class covering multimedia compression at an in-depth level. Final year engineering undergraduate students pursuing projects in multimedia compression and/or communication would also find the book a useful tool. JPEG2000: Image Compression Fundamentals, Standards and Practice is written in four parts, to serve the interests of a wide readership. Representing about half the total text, Part I of the book provides a thorough and up-to-date background in the fundamentals of image compression, including topics not previously brought together in a single volume. Part 2 contains a complete description of the JPEG2000 standard. This description is written in such a way as to be completely self-contained from an implementation perspective, while it contains numerous references to the fundamental developments in Part 1. Together, Parts 1 and 2 serve the complementary roles of explanation and exposition in relation to both the JPEG2000 standard and modern image compression techniques. Part 3 of the book is devoted to the implementation and exploitation of the JPEG2000 standard, containing guidelines, suggestions, and analyses for both software and hardware oriented applications. Part 4 describes other key image compression standards, namely JPEG and JPEG-LS. The purpose of this material is to allow the reader to compare the capabilities and complexity associated with these standards with those of JPEG2000. This final part of the book also serves to provide a practical demonstration of some of the fundamental techniques introduced in Part 1 which are not demonstrated by the JPEG2000 standard. About the CD-ROM: Included with the book is a compact disc containing documentation, binaries, and all source code to the Kakadu software tools. This software provides a complete C++ implementation of JPEG2000 Part 1, demonstrating many of the principles described in the text itself. The software is frequently referenced from the text as an additional resource for understanding complex or subtle aspects of the standard. Conversely, the software makes frequent reference to the text and has been written to mesh with the terminology and notation employed therein.

I don't see how and to whom this book could possibly be helpful (2009-02-14)
This book is divided into four parts. The first part of the book is about every signal processing subject under the sun that touches the JPEG2000 standard - in 400 pages. This is too much if what you want to do is code/decode existing JPEG2000 files. It is not nearly enough if you don't understand these topics in the first place. At this point you finally see a chapter with JPEG2000 in the title. This is followed by 175 pages that basically "plug" the standard when, finally, on page 573 you get to the JPEG file format, or so the chapter title says. However, there isn't enough information to code and decode a JPEG2000 file.
This is not a book you'd want if you want to work with existing files, and it is not a book you'd want if you want to create JPEG2000 files. It is more about the underlying science of JPEG2000 at a very high level and is intended to sell you on the standard's value versus JPEG. The author even tells you this in the preface.
My advice is - if you have to do this professionally get your company to buy this overpriced tome as a sometimes reference and most-of-the-time doorstop. As for yourself, google "JPEG2000 Tutorial". There are a number of clear tutorials out there for the DSP-aware that want to know something about the technology behind J2K and why it is an improvement over JPEG. For the programming part, look for the javadocs on Java Advanced Imaging. It has a JPEG2000 decoder/encoder and once you know the basics of the technology, the parameters you feed the decoder/encoder will make more sense. All of this will cost you a grand total of nothing.
The book is one of the worst of books I have read (2003-04-02)
If one wants to learn jpeg2000, he can look for some papers and source codes which are better than this book.
If one wants to learn theory of image coding, he can read some other books much better than this book.
This book is only for fools.
Great Work (2002-12-31)
The author of this book is a genius. His work should be required reading for all. Definatly one of the great minds in our time.
Know why you're buying this book (2002-05-04)
This book is quite good but any potential buyer should know exactly why he would buy it and if it really matches his expectations. Indeed, this book is hardly a helper in implementing jpeg2000, but more a reference book for highly skilled image processing professionals/researchers. It is divided in two parts: the first part is about general image processing topics and provide some explanation about the choices made for jpeg2000. It is the "theorical" part. The second part is about jpeg2000 itself. The latter could have been much more practical and better directed to implementors. In fact, I was thinking of this book being able to clarify some aspects of the norm that are quite blur, but I find the way it is written, even for the second part, overly complicated and scientifically oriented, not "engineering" oriented. Most of the topics are better explained in the norm itself than in this book, even if the latter is much more detailed. Clearly there is room for another book on the topic but this time directed to implementors, with less theory, less scientific notations, are more, much more, real world examples working on real bit-streams.

The JPEG 2000 Suite provides a comprehensive overview of the baseline JPEG 2000 standard and its extensions. The first part of the book sets out the core coding system, additions to the standard and reference software. The second part discusses the successful deployment of JPEG 2000 in application domains such as video surveillance, digital cinema, digital television, medical imaging, defence imaging, security, geographic imaging and remote sensing, digital culture imaging and 3D graphics. The book also presents implementation strategies accompanied by existing software and hardware solutions.
- Describes secure JPEG 2000 (JPSEC), interactivity protocols (JPIP), volumetric image data compression (JP3D) and image compression in wireless environments (JPWL), amongst others.
- Uses a structure which allows for easy cross-reference with the components of the standard.
- Sets out practical implementation examples and results.
- Examines strategies for future image compression techniques, including Advanced Image Coding and JPEG XR.
- Includes contributions from international specialists in industry and academia who have worked on the development of the JPEG 2000 standard.
- Additional material can be found at www.jpeg.org.
The JPEG 2000 Suite is an excellent introduction to the JPEG 2000 standard and is of great appeal to practising electronics engineers, researchers, and hardware and software developers using and developing image coding techniques. Graduate students taking courses on image compression, digital archiving, and data storage techniques will also find the book useful, as will graphic designers, artists, and decision makers in industries developing digital applications.

Junk (2002-10-06)
This is a totally unorganized set of files that I think are identical to those that can be found on the Web. The only instructions are a "readme.txt" file that incorrectly states the files are organized via a file called "contents.pdf." There is no such file on either disc. One disc contains several .gif, .jpg, and .tif images. The other contains more such images, some .pdf files with no apparent organizational structure, and the Mac and Windows versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader. Very few of the pictures have any explanatory text and their filenames appear to be meaningless numbers. The .pdf files mostly seem to show low-resolution copies of pictures you can get for free at [url]. The discs themselves are ordinary CD-Rs, with peel-and-stick labels that look like they were printed on an inkjet printer. The jewel-box insert bears similar printing, albeit in color. The only address or contact info given is an e-mail address at post.com, a domain that I can't reach with "ping" or by trying to view [website].
If you want Hubble pictures, go to the stsci.edu site above. The files are excellent, free, and accompanied by explanatory notes. I do not recommend that anyone buy these CDs.

Where's my order? (2008-02-04)
I have never received this product and every day it shows USPS picked it up on the date of that day. Apparently there is no other way to report this kind of problem within the Amazon website, since my search of "Complaints" yielded no relevant content. I ordered this book back in mid-January. It was supposed to ship by Jan 23 with an expected delivery of Jan 28. Needless to say this book is effectively worthless and I question its continuing existence.

ISO/IEC 15444-12:2005 specifies the structure and uses of the ISO base media file format. The identical text is published as ISO/IEC 14496-12:2005. This file format is used to contain time-based media such as video and audio. The storage of particular coding schemes is defined in specifications that derive from and reference ISO/IEC 14496-12:2005 and ISO/IEC 15444-12:2005, such as the MPEG-4 file format specified in ISO/IEC 14496-14, or the Motion JPEG file format specified in ISO/IEC 15444-3.This file format is designed to contain timed media information for a presentation in a flexible, extensible format that facilitates interchange, management, editing and presentation of the media. This presentation may be "local" to the system containing the presentation, or may be via a network or other stream delivery mechanism. The file format is designed to be independent of any particular network protocol while enabling efficient support for them in general.The file structure is object-oriented; a file can be decomposed into constituent objects very simply, and the structure of the objects inferred directly from their type.This technically identical text is published as ISO/IEC 14496-12:2005 for MPEG-4, and as ISO/IEC 15444-12:2005 for JPEG 2000, and reference to this specification should be made accordingly. The recommendation is to reference one, for example ISO/IEC 14496-12:2005, and append to the reference a parenthetical comment identifying the other, for example "(technically identical to ISO/IEC 15444-12:2005)".This version adds various new tools, including those for content protection, better support of metadata, and better support for advanced coding.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Open source describes practices in production and development that promote access to the end product's source materials?typically, their source code. Some consider open source a philosophy, others consider it a pragmatic methodology. Before the term open source became widely adopted, developers and producers used a variety of phrases to describe the concept; open source gained hold with the rise of a public, worldwide, computer-network system called the Internet, and the attendant need for massive retooling of the computing source code. Opening the source code enabled a self-enhancing diversity of production models, communication paths, and interactive communities.Subsequently, a new, three-word phrase "open source software" was born to describe the environment that the new copyright, licensing, domain, and consumer issues created.
