JPEG2000 Compression in an SDK with LEADTOOLS standard compliant compression

LEADTOOLS JPEG2000 compression/decompression conforms to the JPEG2000 International Standard. This new state-of-the-art ISO/ITU still image compression standard provides a fast and flexible solution for high-quality, wavelet-based compression. LEAD has committed to fully support all future parts as they are released and therefore LEADTOOLS JPEG2000 will continue to grow as the JPEG2000 standard grows.

NEW Support for saving 32-bit RGB-alpha images

• Support for lossy JPEG2000 compression of 32-bit images - the alpha can be saved either lossy or lossless. (i.e. the color components of the image can be saved as lossy while the alpha data is saved as lossless.)
• Support for controlling the active bits of the alpha channel has been added to improve the compression.

JPEG2000 is a new image encoding standard that provides a feature set vital to many high end and emerging imaging applications. JPEG2000 provides high compression with image quality superior to all existing standard encoding techniques. This high compression and quality performance is due to the adaptation of wavelet transforms. Wavelet transforms are mathematical formulas that represent complex structures in the image, thereby compressing an extremely large amount of image data into a relatively small amount of compressed data. This compression technique allows applications to save compressed images with higher compression ratios and better image quality as compared to any other software currently in production.
