Programming with JPX Features

JPX is a wavelet-based image compression standard that defines the JPX file format and is part of the JPEG 2000 standard. It uses a hierarchical format to store several resolutions of the image in the same file without duplication. Consequently, a JPX compressed image can be sent to a device in the best resolution for that device, without requiring additional overhead storage. The standardized filename extension for the format is .jpx (JPEG 2000 Part2, conforming to standard ISO/IEC 15444-2).

In comparison to the standard JPEG format, the JPX file format provides greater flexibility and better image quality, especially at the higher compressions.

JPX (JPEG 2000 Part 2) Features

The JPX (JPEG 2000 Part 2) file format is especially useful for document, medical, and satellite imagery archiving systems . All LEADTOOLS Imaging Pro, Document Imaging, and Medical Imaging toolkits can read/parse JPX files. LEADTOOLSDocument and MedicalImaging toolkits also add support for writing JPX files and manipulating JPX boxes, frames, GML Data, and other advanced JPX features. JPX support enables you to:

Maintain full control of code streams, frames, and metadata
Append and extract all standard metadata boxes, such as XML, digital signature, and intellectual property
Append and extract additional images (frames)
Save lists of bitmaps, such as 3D volumetric encoded slices
Include support for 24, 32, 48, 64 bit RGB and 8, 12-16 bit grayscale* code streams
Add opacity channels
阅读,或者说是ite GML data
Support fragmentation, making it possible to:
- Edit an image, resaving the changed tiles and placing them at the end of the file
- Distribute images across several disks for faster access
- Distribute the image across the Internet, allowing only certain users access to the high quality or high resolution portions of the code stream
- Reuse headers from within a code stream across multiple code streams (to minimize file overhead when storing similar code streams within the same JPX file)

TheL_JP2_FILEINFOstructure provides information about JPEG 2000 file contents. TheL_JP2_XML_BOXstructure provides information for an XML box. For a complete listing of functions that control, read, and manipulate box contents, seeRaster Image Functions: Working with JPEG 2000. To determine the current settings for these features, use theL_JP2GetBoxesfunction. To change these features, use theL_JP2SetBoxesfunction.

LEADTOOLS JPX supports ANSI and UNICODE development in separate libraries. For information about the required .DLL file name and import library, please refer toFiles To Be Included With Your Application.

Medical Toolkits

The Medical toolkits offer some additional, special functions. To determine the current settings for JPEG 2000 features, use theL_DicomGetJ2KOptionsfunction. To change JPEG 2000 features, use theL_DicomSetJ2KOptionsand functions. To get the default settings for JPEG2000 features, use theL_DicomGetDefaultJ2KOptionsfunction.
