(0) Low Bit rate Compression The JPEG standard ofers excellent rate-distortion performance in the nid
and high bit rates. However, at low bit rates, the distortion is visible and is unacceptable. Hence, efficient
compression standard is required for low bit-rate image compression.
(ii) Lossless and Lossy Compression The IPEG standard is capableof performinglossless and lossy com-
pression but not on a single code stream. There is a need for a standard in which both lossless and lossy
compression can be performed in a single code stream.
(i) Single Decompression Architecture The current JPEG standard has 44 modes, many of which are
application specific and not used by the majority of JPEG decoders. Greater interchange between applica-
tions can be achieved if a single common decompression architecture encompasses these features.
(iv) Transmission of Images in Noisy Environment The JPEG standard has provision for restart inter
vals, but image quality suffers dramatically when bit errors are encountered. One of the required features for
JPEG2000 is improved error resilience. This feature becomes crucial as wireless communication becomes
more prominent while wircless channels remain
highly error-prone.
() Region-basedCoding Region-based coding is a very promising technique that is gaining consider
able interest. In region-based coding, the compression procedure starts with segmentation of the image into
a set of regions, most often corresponding to objects that can be identified in the visual scene. The JPEG
standard does not support region-based coding, whereas the JPEG2000 standard supports
region-based
coding.
