Application
|
The standard defines a set of lossless (bit-preserving) and ‘lossy’ compression methods for coding bi-level, continuous-tone grey-scale, palletised colour, or continuous-tone colour digital still images. JPEG 2000 is used for satellite imagery, scanned aerial photography, scanned maps, digital elevation models, or as a result of geographic analyses.
|
Implementation benefits
|
JPEG 2000 has a number of advantages, such as better compression quality, scalable byresolution, quality and colour channel, lossless encoding, up to 38 bit depths and it is considered to be error resilient.
