This thesis is concerned with image communication considering all stages from the beginning to the very end. In order to appropriately handle large raster imagery, the fundamental goal is to reduce the influence of the most limiting factors in mobile environments. In a clear departure from the traditional strategies, this goal is reached by rigorously combining and extending existing approaches to a single communication system aligned to support a certain pre-defined task. To achieve this, the modern imaging standard JPEG2000 serves as a foundation for image compression and streaming. Founded on the concept of Regions of Interest and Levels of Detail to describe current demands at client side, powerful generic strategies for content streaming are proposed. Special attention is also given to the application areas - image browsing, viewer guidance and content exchange. Beside new ideas to accomplish these tasks on application level, detailed statements on the design of the respective communication strategy are provided. The achieved results show that many resources can be saved by an appropriate mobile image communication using JPEG2000. Buy Now!

Where's my order?. February 4, 2008
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. Buy Now!
diminishing returns?. April 20, 2005
We all want better compression. Yet surely the current JPG and GIF have taken us to the limit? Apparently not, if you read this book. There is still some slack that can be squeezed out of an image, if you use JPEG2000. Acharya gives you all the technical details. Where it would greatly assist your comprehension if you already knew about the discrete cosine transform and the current JPG standard.
The book also shows how VLSI chips can be designed to perform hardware JPG2000 computations. Why? As the book explains, think of many consumer electronics devices, like cameraphones. Perhaps you can help bring this about?
But one has to wonder how much longer this can go on. There must be a point of diminishing returns in the cost of computations versus the gains to be made in compression. Buy Now!
This is a NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A708104. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: This thesis examines the compression performance of the JPEG2000 standard for image transmission over noisy channels. Other features of the standard, such as error resilience and region of interest, have been studied and their effectiveness tested on several images. The JPEG2000 still image compression standard has provided higher compressions performance with lower distortion and better image quality than JPEG. JPEG2000 has the capability to define regions of interest of any shape and size and code the selected regions with a higher fedelity than the rest of the image. Compressed image data is transmitted over a noisy wireless channel based on Gilbert-Eliot model, which simulates both isolated and burst errors. JPEG2000 error resilient tools are used to allow the decoder to detect and conceal errors introduced in the channel. The results indicate up to 10 dB improvement in the peak signal to noise ratio when these tools are used. Buy Now!

Description
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. Buy Now!

The book is one of the worst of books I have read. April 2, 2003
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.
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. Buy Now!
Know why you're buying this book. May 4, 2002
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.
