With the help of fast growing multimedia technology and high preference for users of large screens, the newest video coding standard, HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) high-quality video compression), has been introduced. Therefore, the high definition image services which are four times more clear than conventional HD video, are getting popular. JPEG 2000 also has stated to support 4K and 8K UHD. As a result, it requires fast processing technology to read and write UHD images. This paper introduces a study on fast parallel processing technology for UHD images. For this purpose, first, JPEG 2000 is reviewed and a GPU based parallel implementation is proposed for a preprocessing of color conversion stage. The parallelled algorithm is implemented with OpenCL (Open Computing Language). The simulation results show that the proposed method shows 5 times performance improvements on processing speed for 4K UHD over the method using threads.

In the paper, a Motion JPEG2000 coder which has been set as the standard for image compression by the Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI), an organization composed of major movie studios was implemented into a target FPGA. The DWT (Discrete Wavelet Transform) based on lifting and the Tier 1 of EBCOT (Embedded Block Coding with Optimized Truncation) which are major functional modules of the JPEG2000 were setup with dedicated hardware. The Tier 2 process was implemented in software. For digital cinema the tile-size was set to support $1024\times1024$ pixels. To ensure the real-time operations, three entropy encoders were used. When Verilog-HDL was used for hardware, resources of 32,470 LEs in Altera's Stratix EP1S80 were used, and the hardware worked stably at the frequency of 150Mhz.

현재 디지털 시네마의 압축 표준으로는 DCI(Digital Cinema Initiatives)에 의해 정지 영상 압축의 국제 표준인 JPEG-2000이 선정되어 있다. 하지만 영상 압축에 있어 또 하나의 국제 표준인 H.264/AVC는 현재까지 동영상 압축에 있어 과거 어떤 동영상 압축 코덱보다 큰 효율을 달성해왔다. 본 논문에서는 이 두 가지 압축 방법을 사용하여 디지털 시네마 압축에서 요구하는 시각적 무손실 압축을 연구하였다. 즉 실험 영상에 다양한 파라메터 값으로 JPEG-2000과 H.264/AVC 압축을 수행 하였고 산출된 결과를 시각적 무손실 압축의 환경 조건하에서 제시하였다. JPEG-2000의 경우 RATE 0.02, 0.03 이전의 PSNR 변화 값이 낮은 편이었으며, DCI 규격에도 만족시키는 결과를 보여주었다. H.264의 경우 압축 성능에 있어서 JPEG-2000보다 다소 우월한 결과를 보여주었다. 계층적 코딩을 통해 매체간 높은 호환성을 보장하는 H.264/AVC의 장점은 디지털 시네마의 배포에 적용 가능함을 함께 고려할 때 JPEG-2000과 함께 디지털 시네마를 위한 압축 표준으로 고려해 볼 만 하다.

This paper presents the implementation of a Tiling System about Preprocessing functions of JPEG 2000. The system covers the JPEG 2000 standard and is designed to determine the size of the image, to expand the image area and to split input image into several tiles. In order to split the input image with the progressive transmission into several tiles and transmit a tile of this image to others, this system store this image into Frame Memory. Therefore, this is designed as the Finite State Machine (FSM) to sequence through specific patterns of states in a predetermined sequential manner by using Verilog-HDL and be designed to handle a maximum 5M image. Moreover, for identifying image size for expansion, we propose several formula which are based on remainder after division (rem). we propose the true table which determines the size of the image input patterns by using results of these formula. Under the condition of TSMC 0.25um ASIC library, gate count is 18,725 and maximum data arrival time is 18.94 [ns].

The proposed algorithm in this paper is based on the wavelet decomposition and the energy computation of composed blocks so the amount of calculation and complexity is minimized by adaptively replacing the DWT coefficients and managing the resources effectively. We are now living in the world of a lot. of multimedia applications for many digital electric appliances and mobile devices. Among so many multimedia applications, the digital image compression is very important technology for digital cameras to store and transmit digital images to other sites and JPEG2000 is one of the cutting edge technology to compress still images efficiently. The digital cm technology is mainly using the digital image compression features so that those images could be efficiently saved locally and transferred to other sites without any losses. JPEG2000 standard is applicable for processing the digital images usefully to keep, send and receive through wired and/or wireless networks. The discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is one of the main differences to the previous digital image compression standard such as JPEG, performing the DWT to the entire image rather than splitting into many blocks. Several digital images m tested with this method and restored to compare to the results of conventional DWT which shows that the proposed algorithm get the better result without any significant degradation in terms of MSE & PSNR and the number of zero coefficients when the energy based adaptive DWT is applied.

Currently, as a consequence of PACS (Picture Archiving Communication System) implementation many hospitals are replacing conventional film-type interpretations of diagnostic medical images with new digital-format interpretations that can also be saved, and retrieve However, the big limitation in PACS is considered to be the lack of mobility. The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal communication packet size. This was done by considering the terms occurred in the wireless communication. After encoding medical image using JPGE2000 image compression method, This method embodied auto-error correction technique preventing the loss of packets occurred during wireless communication. A PC class server, with capabilities to load, collect data, save images, and connect with other network, was installed. Image data were compressed using JPEG2000 algorithm which supports the capability of high energy density and compression ratio, to communicate through a wireless network. Image data were also transmitted in block units coeded by JPEG2000 to prevent the loss of the packets in a wireless network. When JPGE2000 image data were decoded in a PUA (Personal Digital Assistant), it was instantaneous for a MR (Magnetic Resonance) head image of 256${\times}$256 pixels, while it took approximately 5 seconds to decode a CR (Computed Radiography) chest image of 800${\times}$790 pixels. In the transmission of the image data using a CDMA 1X module (Code-Division Multiple Access 1st Generation), 256 byte/sec was considered a stable transmission rate, but packets were lost in the intervals at the transmission rate of 1Kbyte/sec. However, even with a transmission rate above 1 Kbyte/sec, packets were not lost in wireless LAN. Current PACS are not compatible with wireless networks. because it does not have an interface between wired and wireless. Thus, the mobile JPEG2000 image viewing system was developed in order to complement mobility-a limitation in PACS. Moreover, the weak-connections of the wireless network was enhanced by re-transmitting image data within a limitations The results of this study are expected to play an interface role between the current wired-networks PACS and the mobile devices.

본 논문에서는 방사선투영영상을 기존 압축방법인 JPEG 압축과 새로운 표준으로 채택중인 JPEG2000을 적용하여 압축율 및 영상의 품질을 비교 실험하였다. 기존의 의료영상압축 표준의 하나인 JPEG 압축은 압축비율이 높아짐에 따라 블륵킹 현상의 발생으로 원 영상이 회손되는 압축의 한계를 인식하고 있다. 따라서 원 영상의 보호와 압축율 증가의 두 가지 면을 만족시키기 위해 Wavelet 을 사용하는 JPEG2000을 실험 평가하여 의료영상압축에 적용하고자 한다. 실험대상으로 환자 10명 정상인 10명의 투영영상을 사용하였으며, 영상의 품질, 손상도 등을 평가하기 위해 PSNR( Peak Signal to Noise Ratio )과 판독의에 의한 ROC( Receiver Operating Characteristic )분석을 실행하였다. 실험결과, 영상의 품질, 손상도를 평가하기 위한 PSNR 은 15:1 압축에서 $46.05{\pm}1.1dB$의 값을 얻었으며, JPEG의 같은 압축비율에 비해 $1.78{\pm}0.1dB$의 값이 높음을 알 수 있었다. 종합적으로 3명의 판독의에 의해 ROC 분석을 실행한 결과 15:1의 압축비율에서 압축비율과 품질을 종합하였을 때 진단에 적합한 최적 압축비율임을 보였다.
