Currently, the preferred processing of a user-centered ROI(Region-of-Interest) or a specific region of image than the transmission and decompression of a full image is needed in different applications. This preferred processing has been actively studied about from the ROI coding methods in JPEG2000 standards to the new methods complementing them. But, there does not exist an ROI coding method suitable for all applications. Therefore, this study shows a criterion of selection according to the application requirements for applying an adequate ROI coding method in JPEG2000 applications, and shows the experimental results deciding efficient parameters in the selected methods.

One of the most significant characteristics of JPEG2000. the emerging still image standards. is the ROI (Region of Interest) coding. JPEG2000 provides a number of ROI coding mechanisms and ROI parameters. To apply them to an application, it must select the applicable values. In this paper, we evaluate how the ROI coding mechanisms and the ROI parameters influencing JPEG2000 qualify affect the ROI quality and the whole image quality. The ROI coding mechanisms are Maxshift and Implicit. and the parameters are tile size and ROI size, codeblock size, number of DWT decomposition levels and ROI importance. The bigger the tile size, the better the quality. The bigger the ROI size, the ROI importance and the number of DWT decomposition levels, the worse the qualify. In code block $32{\times}32$ of Maxshift and Implicit, it has the best qualify.

JPEG200, a new international standard for still image compression based on wavelet and bit-plane coding techniques, is developed. In this paper, we design the DWT(Discrete Wavelet Transform) and quantizer for JPEG2000 CODEC. DWT handles both lossy and lossless compression using the same transform-based framework: The Daubechies 9/7 and 5/3 transforms, and quantizer is implemented as SQ(Scalar Quantization). The architecture of the proposed DWT and SQ are synthesized and verified using Xilinx FPGA technology. It operates up to 30MHz, and executes algorithms of wavelet transform and quantization for VGA 10 frame per second.

Guaranteeing interoperability between devices and applications is the core role of standards organizations. Since its first JPEG standard in 1992, the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) has published several image coding standards that have been successful in a plethora of imaging markets. Recently, these markets have become subject to potentially disruptive innovations owing to the rise of new imaging modalities such as light fields, point clouds, and holography. These so-called plenoptic modalities hold the promise of facilitating a more efficient and complete representation of 3D scenes when compared to classic 2D modalities. However, due to the heterogeneity of plenoptic products that will hit the market, serious interoperability concerns have arisen. In this paper, we particularly focus on the holographic modality and outline how the JPEG committee has addressed these tremendous challenges. We discuss the main use cases and provide a preliminary list of requirements. In addition, based on the discussion of real-valued and complex data representations, we elaborate on potential coding technologies that range from approaches utilizing classical 2D coding technologies to holographic content-aware coding solutions. Finally, we address the problem of visual quality assessment of holographic data covering both visual quality metrics and subjective assessment methodologies.

JPEG2000, the standard of still image compression based on wavelet, will be widely used. One of the greatest characteristics of JPEG2000 is to offer ROI(Region-Of-Interest) coding. This is to compress with high quality the region that the user wants better than the other region. JPEG2000 and ROI have different parameters, which are tile size and ROI size, wavelet filter type and ROI shape and its location, codeblock size and number of ROI, number of DWT decomposition level and ROI importance, and number of quality layer and low resolution sub-band importance. In this paper, we shows the correlation of the parameters and ROI coding methods through experiments. This helps an application select the parameters and the methods to meet the application.

$\cdot$ 영상 압축은 영상의 통계학적 분포, 반복성을 이용하여 빈도가 높은 데이터는 적은 수의 bits를, 빈도가 낮은 데이터에는 보다 많은 수의 bits를 할당하여 전체 영상을 나타내는 bits 수를 줄이는 것임. $\cdot$ 영상 압축은 크게 Lossy Coding, Lossless Coding으로 나뉘며, Lossy coding은 DCT, 양자화기, VLC Codes를 쓰며 압축 율은 높으나 원래의 영상을 정확히 복원하지 못함. $\cdot$ 영상 압축에 대한 국제 규격 협회는 JPEG, MPEG I, MPEG II, MPEG IV, H.261, H.263 등이 있으나 본 seminar에서는 JPEG 규격만 논함. $\cdot$ 의학 영상은 Resolution이 크고 study 단위로 관리되기 때문에 영상 데이터량이 많으나 진단의 목적으로 쓰이기 때문에 주로 lossless 압축을 쓰게 되나 압축율이 낮음.(3:1 이하). 최근에는 Fractal, Wavelet Coding을 통한 압축율을 증가 시키는 Image Compression Algorithms이 활용됨. $\cdot$ MPEG은 동영상의 압축 표준안이며, 동영상은 한frame 당 25개 이상의 정지 화상으로 이루어지기 때문에 JPEG 규격에서 사용되었던 기법이 그대로 활용되며 영상과 영상간, 또는 frame과 frame 간의 여상의 변화, 움직임을 Vector로 coding하는 interframe Coding 기법을 활용하나 설명하기에는 광범위한 topic이므로 본 seminar에서는 생략함.

In this paper, we proposed a new lossless image compression algorithm. Lossless image compression has been used in the field that requires the accuracy and precision. Thus, application areas using medical unaging, prepress unaging, image archival systems, precious artworks to be preserved, and remotely sensed images require lossless compression. The compression ratio from lossless image compression has not been satisfactory, thus far. So, new method of lossless image compression has been investigated to get better compression efficiency. We have compared the compression results with the most typical compression methods such as CALIC and JPEG-LS. CALIC has shown the best compression-ratio among the existing lossless coding methods at the cost of the extensive complexity by three pass algorithm. On the other hand, JPEG-LS's compression-ratio is not higher than CALIC, but was adopted as an international standard of ISO because of the low complexity and fast coding process. In the proposed method, we adopted an adaptive predictor that can exploit the characteristics of individual images, and an adaptive arithmetic coding with multiple probability models. As a result, the proposed algorithm showed 5％ improvement in compression efficiency in comparison with JPEG-LS and showed comparable compression ratio with CALIC.

Binary MQ arithmetic coding is widely used recently as a basic entropy coder in multimedia coding system. MQ coder esteems high in compression efficiency to be used in JBIG2 and JPEG2000. The importance of arithmetic coding is increasing after it is adopted as an unique entropy coder in HEVC standard. In the binary MQ coder, arithmetic approximation without multiplication is used in the process of recursive subdivision of range interval. Because of the MPS/LPS exchange activity happened in MQ coder, output byte tends to increase. This paper proposes an enhanced binary MQ arithmetic coder to make use of a lookup table for AQe using quantization skill in order to reduce the deficiency. Experimental results show that about 4% improvement of compression in case of JBIG2 for bi-level image compression standard. And also, about 1% improvement of compression ratio is obtained in case of lossless JPEG2000 coding. For the lossy JPEG2000 coding, about 1% improvement of PSNR at the same compression ratio. Additionally, computational complexity is not increasing.

Recently, the standardization of backward compatible JPEG image coding for high dynamic range (HDR) image has been undertaken to establish an international standard called "JPEG XT." The JPEG XT consists of two layers: the base layer and the residual layer. The base layer contains tone mapped low dynamic range (LDR) image data and the residual layer contains the error signal used to reconstruct the HDR image. This paper gives the result of a study to evaluate the overall performance of tone mapping operators (TMOs) for this standard. The evaluation is performed using five HDR image datasets and six TMOs for profiles A, B, and C of the proposed JPEG XT standard. The Tone Mapped image Quality Index (TMQI) and no reference image quality assessment (NR IQA) are used for measuring the LDR image quality. The peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) is used to evaluate the overall compression performance of JPEG XT profiles A, B, and C. In TMQI and NR IQA measurements, TMOs using display adaptive tone mapping and adaptive logarithmic mapping each gave good results. A TMO using adaptive logarithmic mapping gave good PSNRs.
