Abstract
The recently approved digital still image standard known as JPEG2000 promises to be an excellent image and video format for use with a large range of applications. For adoption of the standard to take place in the consumer marketplace, implementations supporting real time encoding and decoding of popular image and video formats must be created. It is a well-known fact that the major bottleneck of a JPEG2000 system is the bit/context modeling and arithmetic coding tasks. This paper discusses a hardware implementation of a tier-1 coder that exploits available parallelisms. The proposed technique described in this paper is approximately 50% faster than the best technique described in the literature.
