5. Conclusion

This first article on the JPEG 2000 digital image compression format began by presenting the objectives behind its development. The principles of wavelet compression shed light on the functionalities offered, as well as its integration into the coding chain. The main advantages of JPEG 2000 are its scalability, the possibility of lossless compression, its multi-generation performance and its robustness against errors.

The second article [TE 5 322] describes the family of documents making up the JPEG 2000 standard, and the container formats used...
