aDORe djatoka: An Open-Source Jpeg 2000 Image Server and Dissemination Service Framework
4th International Conference on Open RepositoriesThis presentation was part of the session : Conference PresentationsDate: 2009-05-19 03:00 PM – 04:30 PMThe JPEG 2000 image format has attracted considerable attention due to its rich feature set defined in a multi-part open ISO standard, and its potential use as a holy-grail preservation format providing both lossless compression and rich service format features. Until recently there was lack of an implementation agnostic (e.g., Kakadu, Aware, etc) API for JPEG 2000 compression and extraction, and an open-source service framework, upon which rich Web 2.0-style applications can be developed. Recently we engaged in the development of aDORe djatoka , an open-source JPEG 2000 image server and dissemination framework to help address some of these issues. The djatoka image server is geared towards Web 2.0 style reuse through URI-addressability of all image disseminations including regions, rotations, and format transformations. Djatoka also provides a JPEG 2000 compression / extraction API that serves as an abstraction layer from the underlying JPEG 2000 library (e.g., Kakadu, Aware, etc). The initial release has attracted considerable interest and is already being used in production environments, such as at the Biodiversity Heritage Library , who uses djatoka to serve more than eleven million images. This presentation introduces the aDORe djatoka image server and describes various interoperability approaches with existing repository systems. Djatoka was derived from a concrete need to introduce a solution to disseminate high-resolution images stored in an aDORe repository system. Djatoka is able to disseminate images that reside either in a repository environment or that are Web-accessible at arbitrary URIs. Since dynamic service requests pertaining to an identified resource (the entire JPEG 2000 image) are being made, the OpenURL Framework was selected to provide an extensible dissemination service framework. The OpenURL service layer simplifies development and provides exciting interoperability opportunities. The presentation will showcase the flexibility of this interface by introducing a mobile image collection viewer developed for the iPhone / iTouch platform
Unequal Error Protected JPEG 2000 Broadcast Scheme with Progressive Fountain Codes
This paper proposes a novel scheme, based on progressive fountain codes, for
broadcasting JPEG 2000 multimedia. In such a broadcast scheme, progressive
resolution levels of images/video have been unequally protected when
transmitted using the proposed progressive fountain codes. With progressive
fountain codes applied in the broadcast scheme, the resolutions of images (JPEG
2000) or videos (MJPEG 2000) received by different users can be automatically
adaptive to their channel qualities, i.e. the users with good channel qualities
are possible to receive the high resolution images/vedio while the users with
bad channel qualities may receive low resolution images/vedio. Finally, the
performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated with the MJPEG 2000 broadcast
prototype
Error resilience analysis of wireless image transmission using JPEG, JPEG 2000 and JPWL
The wireless extension of the JPEG 2000 standard formally known as JPWL is the newest international standard for still image compression. Different from all previous standards, this new standard was created specifically for wireless imaging applications. This paper examines the error resilience performance of the JPEG, JPEG 2000 and JPWL standards in combating multi-path and fading impairments in Rayleigh fading channels. Comprehensive objective and subjective results are presented in relation to the error resilience performance of these three standards under various conditions. The major findings in this paper reveal that a CRC approach is not a viable option for protecting wireless image data when not used in
conjunction with an efficient retransmission strategy. In addition, the Reed-Solomon error correction codes in JPWL provide strong protection for wireless image transmission. However, any stronger protection beyond RS(64,32) yields diminishing returns
Simple Signal Extension Method for Discrete Wavelet Transform
Discrete wavelet transform of finite-length signals must necessarily handle
the signal boundaries. The state-of-the-art approaches treat such boundaries in
a complicated and inflexible way, using special prolog or epilog phases. This
holds true in particular for images decomposed into a number of scales,
exemplary in JPEG 2000 coding system. In this paper, the state-of-the-art
approaches are extended to perform the treatment using a compact streaming
core, possibly in multi-scale fashion. We present the core focused on CDF 5/3
wavelet and the symmetric border extension method, both employed in the JPEG
2000. As a result of our work, every input sample is visited only once, while
the results are produced immediately, i.e. without buffering.Comment: preprint; presented on ICSIP 201
Lossless Compression of Color Palette Images with One-Dimensional Techniques
Palette images are widely used on the World Wide Web (WWW) and in game-cartridge applications. Many images used on the WWW are stored and transmitted after they are compressed losslessly with the standard graphics interchange format (GIF), or portable network graphics (PNG). Well-known 2-D compression schemes, such as JPEG-LS and JPEG-2000, fail to yield better compression than GIF or PNG due to the fact that the pixel values represent indices that point to color values in a look-up table. To improve the compression performance of JPEG-LS and JPEG-2000 techniques, several researchers have proposed various reindexing algorithms. We investigate various compression techniques for color palette images. We propose a new technique comprised of a traveling salesman problem (TSP)-based reindexing scheme, Burrows-Wheeler transformation, and inversion ranks. We show that the proposed technique yields better compression gain on average than all the other 1-D compressors and the reindexing schemes that utilize JPEG-LS or JPEG-2000
An overview of JPEG 2000
JPEG-2000 is an emerging standard for still image compression. This paper provides a brief history of the JPEG-2000 standardization process, an overview of the standard, and some description of the capabilities provided by the standard. Part I of the JPEG-2000 standard specifies the minimum compliant decoder, while Part II describes optional, value-added extensions. Although the standard specifies only the decoder and bitstream syntax, in this paper we describe JPEG-2000 from the point of view of encoding. We take this approach, as we believe it is more amenable to a compact description more easily understood by most readers.
