Abstract

One of the most significant characteristics of JPEG 2000, the emerging still image standards, is the Region of Interest(ROI) coding. Until now, there have been many proposed ROI methods. However, all of these methods can not be applied completely in applications. In this paper, the ROI coding mechanisms in JPEG2000 is first outlined and the diversity of ROI coding methods is discussed in detail. Then a comparative selection about using a proper ROI method according to ROI applications' requirements is proposed. Finally the experimental results show that there are also several parameters that control the effectiveness of ROI coding, such as the codeblock size, ROI size, wavelet filter type, the number of wavelet decomposition levels, and ROI importance score.
