Implementation of Image Compression Using JPEG 2000 Algorithm in Digital Media Processor

The objective of this work is to implement JPEG 2000 algorithm in Digital Signal Processor TMS320DM642 to facilitate faster processing of an image. JPEG2000 algorithm is a new standard for still image compression which provides superior low bit rate performance over JPEG. This algorithm is based on discrete wavelet transform with bit plane coding. Lossy and lossless transmission, progressive transmission by pixel accuracy and by resolution, robustness to bit errors and region-of-interest coding are some representative features of JPEG 2000 algorithm.
