Abstract
In this chapter, we describe the JPEG2000 code-stream syntax. Only JPEG2000 Part 1 syntax is discussed here. When applicable, Part 2 extensions are discussed in Chapter 15. This syntax provides all the information necessary for decompression of a JPEG2000 code-stream. The syntax specifies such fundamental quantities as image size, tile size, number of components, and their associated sub-sampling factors. It also specifies all parameters related to quantization and coding such as step sizes, code-block sizes, precinct sizes, as well as the transform kernel employed. All features present in the code-stream are signalled via the syntax, including the number of quality layers, the number of resolutions, progression orders, region of interest information, and whether or not error resilient encoding has been performed. Most coding parameters can be chosen on a tile-by-tile basis.
