| Abstract: | JPEG 2000 Part 1 is an international standard for the compression of still images. However, the goals of JPEG 2000 went far beyond obtaining the smallest file size. The first standard provides access to multiple resolutions of an image, random spatial access, and lossy or lossless compression among other features. JPEG 2000 is now a family of standards which address still image compression, high quality random access to video, document imagery, network interactivity, wireless transmission and security (to name just a few of the parts). This talk provides details on the technologies used for compression in JPEG 2000 Part 1, a summary of some of the technologies for the other parts of the standard with some emphasis on and a demonstration of Part 9, the interactive protocol (JPIP). Other parts will be addressed depending on specific audience interests. |
| Biography: | Michael Gormish earned bachelor's degrees in mathematics and electrical engineering from the University of Kansas, and a masters and PhD in electrical engineering from Stanford University. He currently works on image processing and document engineering at Ricoh Innovations, Inc. He worked on feature rich image compression starting with the CREW system (prior to JPEG 2000). Michael has contributed to JPEG 2000 by inventing and proposing technology, editing documents, and arguing with his colleagues whenever appropriate. He was the coeditor of JPEG 2000 Part 4, the conformance tests, and a main contributor to JPEG 2000 Part 9, a protocol for interactive access to JPEG 2000 images. He has promoted JPEG 2000 via his web page, presenting papers at several conferences, teaching a short course, chairing a special session on JPEG 2000 at ICIP, and giving talks at several universities. |
