A Matlab Implementation of the Emerging HTJ2K Standard

Abstract

The High Throughput JPEG 2000 (HTJ2K) is the new part of JPEG 2000 family of standards and it is currently at FDIS status within ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29/WG 1 (JPEG). In this paper, an implementation with MATLAB is introduced. The MATLAB implementation is not only a good prototype of an actual product but an option for easy understanding of the new block-coding algorithm adopted in the HTJ2K standard. The experimental results demonstrate the encoding/decoding speed of the HTJ2K is significantly faster than that of the conventional JPEG 2000 Part 1.
