JPEG 2000 IP Core JPEG2000-AP JPEG2000 Encoding Application Platform
This JPEG2000 application platform integrates multiple IP cores with memory and software on a system prototyping board to enable off-the-shelf execution and evaluation of scalable, efficient compression of images at any resolution up to 64kx64k pixels.
The JPEG2000 encoder, memory controller, and interface cores are implemented in an FPGA on a commercial prototyping board. The board connects to a Windows host PC via a PCI Express interface. Raw video is fed to the board through a virtual RAM drive, compressed, and passed back to the PC for storage and viewing.
The platform can compress greyscale images with a rate up to 100 MSamples/sec, and can be modified to support even higher processing rates or color images.
Custom software provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for easy setting of JPEG2000 compression parameters. It also manages video streaming, driver access, hardware control, and multitasking.
Applications
The application platform provides a turnkey solution for engineers needing to study JPEG2000 compression, develop and analyze a JPEG2000 proof of concept capability, or evaluate hardware JPEG2000 compression using their own imagery. The platform can also provide designers a head start on developing their own JPEG2000 systems.
