Applications of JPEG 2000
Some markets and applications intended to be served by this standard are listed below:
- Consumer applications such as multimedia devices (e.g., digital cameras, personal digital assistants, 3G mobile phones, color facsimile, printers, scanners, etc.)
- Client/server communication (e.g., the Internet, Image database, Video streaming, video server, etc.)
- Military/surveillance (e.g., HD satellite images, Motion detection, network distribution and storage, etc.)
- Medical imagery, esp. the DICOM specifications for medical data interchange.
- Remote sensing
- High-quality frame-based video recording, editing and storage.
- Live HDTV feed contribution (I-frame only video compression with low transmission latency), such as live HDTV feed of a sport event linked to the TV station studio
- Digital cinema
- JPEG 2000 has many design commonalities with the ICER image compression format that is used to send images back from the Mars rovers.
- Digitized Audio-visual contents and Images for Long term digital preservation
- World Meteorological Organization has built JPEG 2000 Compression into the new GRIB2 file format. The GRIB file structure is designed for global distribution of meteorological data. The implementation of JPEG 2000 compression in GRIB2 has reduced file sizes up to 80%.
