Introduction

 

            The need for high-performance image compression is becoming greater and greater as digital imagery finds its way into many areas of everyday life.  While 20 years ago digital images were seldom used, today they are used in many diverse applications, including multimedia technology, digital photography, Internet viewing, image archiving, and medical imaging7.  In order to transmit and store digital images, the images must be compressed; otherwise, each image would require a huge amount of memory.  Because digital images are used so extensively, image compression technology has surged forward in recent years.  Much work has been put into developing an image compression standard that will have a broad range of functionality, as well as an excellent compression rate.  The fruit of this work is an image compression standard known as JPEG 2000.
