Digital Cinema

The Digital Cinema (DC) Ad Hoc Group within the JPEG Committee has been successful in seeing their work adopted by the industry. The Digital Cinema Initiatives (www.dcimovies.com) organization has adopted JPEG 2000 for the distribution of digital movies to theatres. The successful rollout of this solution continues unabated with over 5000 theatres supporting digital cinema, including 1000 stereoscopic theatres. The first live-action stereoscopic feature encoded with JPEG 2000, Beowulf, is being released on November 16, 2007. The Digital Cinema Ad Hoc Group has initiated work on studio broadcast applications. In addition, the group has begun work on the archival of motion pictures and related contents.

JPEG 2000 related work

At the Kobe meeting, the JPEG Committee confirmed the endorsement of Intellectual Resource Initiative (IRI) as JTC 1 Registration Authority (RA) for use in JPSEC. IRI is a Non Profit Organization, based in Japan, established to create policy proposals on the importance of intellectual information in society.

JPEG 2000 Part 9 known as JPIP, allows powerful and efficient network access to JPEG 2000 images and their metadata in a way that exploits the best features of the JPEG 2000 standard. Interoperability testing among several JPIP implementations continued. Participation from additional organizations is solicited, and testing will continue over the Internet between meetings. For more information please contact [e-mail].

JPEG 2000 Part 10 Ad Hoc Group has been working on the extension of JPEG 2000 to three-dimensional images such as Computer Tomography (CT) scans and scientific simulations. JP3D is currently in balloting phase for International Standard (IS) status. Due to an increased interested for compression technologies for floating-point data, the JPEG Committee has issued a call for information on applications and compression technology for floating-point data. Responses will be reviewed at the 44th WG1 San Francisco Meeting, March 31 - April 4, 2008.

JPEG 2000 Part 11 Wireless, also known as JPWL, has become an International Standard (ISO/IEC 15444-11). JPWL has standardized tools and methods to achieve the efficient transmission of JPEG 2000 imagery over an error-prone wireless system.

JPEG 2000 Part 13 standardizes an entry level JPEG 2000 encoder with widespread applications, intended to be implemented on a license and royalty fee free basis, was published as ISO/IEC 15444-13.

JPSearch

ISO/IEC 24800, Still Image Search, known as JPSearch, is a project that aims to develop a standard framework for searching large collections of images. This project is divided in five parts.

• 
  Part 1 - Framework and System Components, is a Technical Report that introduces the JPSearch architecture and outlines the organization of the JPSearch specifications.
  
• 
  Part 2 - Schema and Ontology Registration and Identification, standardizes a format for the import, export and exchange of ontology.
  
• 
  Part 3 - JPSearch Query Format, which is developed jointly with MPEG, allows for the expression of search criteria, the aggregation of return results and the management of query process.
  
• 
  Part 4 - Metadata Embedded in Image Data (JPEG and JPEG 2000) file format, standardizes image data exchange format with associated metadata.
  
• 
  Part 5 - Data Interchange Format between Image Repositories, standardizes a format for the exchange of image collections and respective metadata between JPSearch compliant repositories.
  

At the meeting, requirements for each part have been reviewed and updated, and Working Drafts for Part 2 and Part 4 and Committee Draft of Part 3 have been produced.

Sweden Records Missile Tests Using JPEG2000 Technology April 2009

The Swedish Armed Forces deploys a sophisticated, medium-range ground-to-air defense missile system, called RBS 23 BAMSE, manufactured by Swedish company Saab Bofors Dynamics (SBD).

To facilitate the test system, SBD utilizes RGB Spectrum's advanced DGy ultra high resolution recording systems. The DGy™ recorders were selected based upon their superior ability to record and reproduce the most intricate details using advanced JPEG2000 compression. Previously, SBD used scan converters and conventional VCRs which rendered “soft” imagery with difficult to discern text and graphics. The DGy recorders preserve the system's complex symbologies and provide sharp graphics and alpha-numerics for after-action-review.

Advanced JPEG2000 Recording Deployed For Helicopter Mission Simulators

Rockwell Collins, the prime contractor for the U.K. Army's Aviation Command and Tactics Trainer (ACTT), was contracted to execute the sixth phase upgrade of this simulator. The upgrade was designed to provide advanced command and tactical training capability for the Army's helicopter pilots for operation in high threat environments.

The upgrade required a system to record the intricate symbology used in the simulated Integrated Helmet and Display Sight System (IHADSS) unit. Rockwell Collins selected RGB Spectrum's DGy™ digital recording system to meet this demanding requirement. The DGy system was chosen for its superior ability to reproduce intricate detail, achieved through advanced wavelet-based JPEG2000 near lossless compression.
PROJECT:
J2K-P1. See references [36] through [39] in [LL1]. These references relate to parallel processing methods and advanced graphic processing units for significant speedup in execution time of JPEG 2000. Review these references and evaluate the encoding and decoding speeds of JPEG 2000. Consider the encoder/decoder complexity reduction using various test images.
J2K-P2. See J2K24. By replacing the EBCOT coding with a simple Huffman-run length scheme, the JPEG 2000 implementation complexity is significantly reduced. Implement JPEG 2000 Huffman coding and evaluate how the simplified VLC reduces the encoder /decoder complexity.

JPEG XR is a proposed new part (Part 2) of the recently established new work item in JPEG, known as JPEG Digital Imaging System Integration (ISO/IEC 29199 - JPEG DI). JPEG DI aims to provide harmonization and integration between a wide range of existing and new image coding schemes, in order to enable the design and delivery of the widest range of imaging applications, across many platforms and technologies. JPEG DI aims to leverage the rich array of tools developed in and around JPEG and JPEG 2000 to support new image compression methods such as JPEG XR. JPEG XR is designed explicitly for the next generation of digital cameras, based extensively on the technology introduced by Microsoft in its Windows Media Format proposals, at present known as HD Photo. At the Kobe meeting, The JPEG XR specification (Working Draft) was reviewed and will be balloted for promotion to Committee Draft (CD) status before the 44th WG1 San Francisco meeting, March 31 to April 4, 2008. In addition to JPEG XR itself, the creation of two other new parts of the standard on compliance testing and reference software was approved at the meeting. Now adopted as a standard (Nov. 2009.)

JXR-P1. The authors in [JXR7] state, “that they have presented lifting structures for hierarchical lapped transforms (HLTs) highly compatible with the JPEG XR standard [JXR1] and that are highly compatible with JPEG XR standard and are lower in complexity in terms of the number of operations and lifting steps compared with JPEG XR. These lifting structures will have any signal processing and communication applications because they are based on commonly used rotation matrices”. Explore these applications and see how these lifting structures for HLTs can be used.
