From the site: Epic24 is a GUI program that I wrote to interactively compare graphic compression codecs against each other. It currently contains JPG, Lossless JPG, JPEG 2000, (Jasper Library Implementation), PNG, John Robinson’s BTP and ATP, and finally my own lossless graphics compression called IMPLODE (IMage Predictive LOssless Decoder Encoder).

Course notes of a JPEG 2000 short course given at the International
Conference in Image Processing (ICIP). By Dr. Majid Rabbani and Diego Santa-Cruz. The course covers image coding principles, a review of JPEG and all the main elements of JPEG 2000: wavelet transform, entropy coding, bitstream structure, error resilience, functionality, performance evaluation, etc.

A paper by Diego Santa Cruz, Touradj Ebrahimi, Mathias Larsson, Joel Askelöf and Charilaos Cristopoulos. According to the abstract, this paper discusses ways to decode regions of an image on the fly without needing to do a complete decode of the entire image.

JPEG200 products provided by RomSoft. Here you find a C++ DLL implementation of JPEG2000 Part 1 standard (ISO/IEC 15444-1) and a Photoshop plugin for JPEG2000 and J2K files

Reader Petrut D. had this to say:

One of the fastest JPEG2000 codecs out there. The Intel IPP library helped a lot with performance. I also tried the Photoshop plug-in, and managed to open all the test files from http://www.crc.ricoh.com/~gormish/jpeg2000conformance/J2KP4files/ part 0 and part 1. The plug-in handled JP2 and J2K images from 1 bit to 16 bit signed/unsigned flowlessly. Highly recomend the C++ DLL and the Photoshop plugin.

Jasper is a C-language implementation of the JPEG-2000 Part-1 standard. Michael Adams seems to run the show, with help from Image Power and a small team. This page gives you access to the software, documentation, and a nice set of links. Jasper is distributed under a free license.

Version 1.701.0 is shipping as of February, 2004.

Developed in the scope of MIGRATOR 2000 project (www.migrator2000.org), this site presents a graphical user interface to the three currently available codecs (VM, JJ2000, Jasper) as well as validation and parsing services to J2k codestreams and JP2 files.
It’s currently a widely used tool within WG1 (JPEG) to perform compliance tests on coders and codestreams. Site requires free registration for purposes of tracking stored images.

SouthDowns is a set of Perl scripts for the creation of JPEG 2000 files from JPEG 2000 codestreams. If you’re interested in the format used by the standard, this might be an easy way to experiment with it. The sample program appears to insert some metadata into the image file.

Warning: this release has no release information and no licensing information!

Part 4 of the standard relates to conformance. The files on this site are used in conformance testing. This web site implies that this part of the standard will soon be available for free, but as of March, 2003, this is not the case.

David Taubman is on the faculty of the University of New South Wales, in Sydney, Australia. Taubman is the author of the book JPEG2000: Image Compression Fundamentals, Standards and Practice and has been very influential in the current development of the standard. He is also the author of Kakadu, a commercial library that is advertised as a complete implementation of Part 1 of the standard.
