We have achieved 25 frame-per-second performance for 1920x1080 resolution, 4:2:2, 8-bit video, for both lossless and lossy encoding. We used a quite-cheap PC platform, costing only around 1.6K USD (not including display device), based on Intel q6600 and Nvidia 9800 GX2. Current platform is MS Windows. However, porting to Linux is an easy task, according to your requirements. Also, the performance can be improved with upgraded configuration (e.g. 3K USD for 4:4:4 10-bit video real-time encoding).

It is both a preservation and delivery format, and has been seen as a possible alternative to the TIFF format which most institutions use as a long-term archiving standard. Produced by both imaging experts and the Joint Photographic Experts Group, it is now a recognised ISO standard. The standard JPEG file format which is so widely in use is not yet an ISO standard. JPEG 2000 allows a wide range of uses and can support a wide range of formats and multiple resolutions. It can also offer both lossy and lossless compression modes. Most importantly it is a flexible file format which allows metadata to be built in to the file, a vital element of the digital preservation process. However, the standard is not yet widely in use and there is as yet no native support for it in internet browsers. More investigation and practical implementations of the standard are yet to be seen but it could be used as a potential archival standard. The workshop: This forum will look more into the details of the standard and expert speakers who are familiar with the standard or have implemented it will share their experiences. The forum will also include industry experts to talk about the creation of the file formats. Delegates will learn about the benefits of the standard, especially with regard to digital preservation and whether it is worth implementing it within their own institutions as an image storage format.  Guest speakers include Bill Comstock, Harvard College Library, Christoph Becker, Vienna University of Technology, Manfred Thaller, Cologne University and Jim King, Adobe. Who should attend the workshop? Digital Repository Developers, Library and Archives professionals, Digital Preservation (technology watchers) future trends, Information Managers (public sector) and anyone with large numbers of images within their institutions or companies.

You can read more details about each of these in blog postings at the URLs offered. First is a "feeler" from Adobe's Senior Product Manager for Adobe Photoshop on the possibility of removing JPEG2000 support from future editions of Photoshop (http://dltj.org/2007/04/j2k-in-photoshop/). Comments were initially running fairly negative, but as of late the JPEG2000 enthusiast community have been making their presence known. It probably isn't too late to register you opinion on Jack Nack's blog (http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2007/04/jpeg_2000_do_yo.html). Second is word from the Google Summer of Code project of two accepted proposals related to JPEG2000: one to add support for the image format in Firefox browsers and another to add support in the FFmpeg media system (http://dltj.org/2007/04/j2k-in-gsoc/).

Thus far, after looking *very* briefly at Part 2 of the standard, as well as using kdu_show from Kakadu, all I can see is that rectangles and ellipses are supported.

Contact Peter Murray <mailto:peter-UnoDsp4/C3/2fBVCVOL8/A< at >public.gmane.org>. OhioLINK-generated Ideas This is the list of project ideas so far. Please take a look at the project ideas page on the DRC-Dev wiki <http://drc-dev.ohiolink.edu/wiki/ProjectIdeas> for updates. JPIP Streaming Disseminator for Fedora JPIP is Part 9 <http://www.jpeg.org/jpeg2000/j2kpart9.html> of the JPEG 2000 <http://www.jpeg.org/jpeg2000/> specification and is used to stream image codestream blocks to a client on demand. For instance, a JPIP client on a desktop may ask for a certain quality level and resolution of a region of an image. Using the JPIP protocol, the client makes such requests to a server and the server responds with only the image codestream blocks needed by the client. This saves the overhead of transmitting the entire image file when, say, only a thumbnail version is required. Fedora is the "Flexible Extensible Digital Object Repository Architecture", an open source digital object repository created by Cornell University and the University of Virginia. A key aspect of the Fedora software is its use of "disseminators" to create derivatives on-demand of datastreams stored in the digital object package. For this project, the idea is have a JPIP client (outside the scope of this project) request an image of a specified quality/resolution/clip and have the FEDORA/JPIP plug-in retrieve and copy out only the precincts/packets directly from an archived master plus metadata needed for the quality specified. In theory, no image processing on the server would be required. Extensions to this disseminator to enforce XACML policies (a capability built into Fedora now) to determine maximum quality available for different end-user types are desired. You can imagine how useful a plugin like this would be. There would be no need to retrieve the full master and create derivatives, nor stockpile limited sets of derivatives outside of the archive against possible end-user requests. JPIP Image Viewer Applet In tandem with the "JPIP Streaming Disseminator for Fedora" proposed above is a JPIP browser applet. Most browser-based JPEG 2000 plugins must be licensed from a software vendor and are not freely distributable. In order to deliver imagery in JPEG 2000 format to standard browsers, one must use a server-side transformations of the JPEG 2000 codestreams into JPEG chunks that are delivered to the browser. Based on the user's requests -- to pan, zoom, select a new region of the image, etc. -- the browser must make a new request to the server and the server render a new JPEG image for the browser. This is an inefficient use of server resources and forces a less-than-desirable responsiveness in the user interface. In addition, these general-purpose viewers do not have features, such as the display of metadata boxes, important to the application of JPEG 2000 in the museum, library and archival communities. What is desired instead is a cross-platform (Java, flash, etc.) JPIP <http://www.jpeg.org/jpeg2000/j2kpart9.html> (streaming JPEG 2000) viewer with these characteristics: * web distributable, browser compliant, and broadly available * ability to see the entire image and parts of an image with acceptable performance over narrow-band connections * manipulation functionality such as pan, zoom, rotate, invert, and mirror * ability to put the image in its context with metadata that is either textual or in other media and can be made visible or suppressed * dynamic retrieve the contextual information * meets identified image quality requirements * transformative tools (i.e. the ability to save the image into a file format selected by the user) Video Snapshot Tool OhioLINK's content repository includes approximately 1,900 educational videos on various topics. These videos range in length from 20 minutes to 80 minutes, and minimal description is provided for the video content. We would like to add a capability for users browsing the collection to see "snapshots" of what the video contains. In its simplest form, the tool would pull out frames from the video in equally-spaced increments. In a more advanced form, the tool would scan the video looking for characteristics of scene changes and pull out the /nth/ frame after the scene change. These frames would be stored as individual images -- or possibly as index pointers into the video itself Peter Murray 2006-05-01T00:04:14 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.information-retrieval.j2karclib/53 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 There was a problem at the host institution for the j2kArcLib.info website.

We have not yet run into issues around high usage retrieval and visualization of that data but I anticipate this happening soon. I am eager to get data on JPEG2000 decompression performance on various off-the-shelf products as well as higher end customized solutions. Most importantly, I am curious if anyone has found benchmarks that compare JPEG2000 decompression performance on Opteron/AMD64 versus Intel IA64 systems. Image size information would be useful. I have heard that there is also significant variation in performance on said systems depending on choice of chipset, JPEG2000 library, operating system as well as even motherboard choice. Detailed information about things like that would be helpful to the JPEG2000 community at large as well. If you have any related info, please share, it will be greatly appreciated. -Yluj yluj svthen 2006-03-08T12:17:15 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.information-retrieval.j2karclib/49 Hello--I had posted my questions below to a media archiving group and it was suggested that there might be members of this group that could offer some advice . . . ------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've been tasked with archiving portions of the tape history of what is now essentially a defunct production company in NH. We have nearly 2000 hours of video on Beta SP and 1" tape from 1985 to the late 90's. We're hoping to digitally archive only a fraction of the amount--and to do it either in-house or to outsource it. Access to archives is likely to be pretty seldom. My questions are: 1) ACCESS: First, based on the fact that access is likely to be seldom, would anyone recommend a particular archiving approach?(E.g., I'm guessing hard drive storage might not be recommended because the info doesn't have to be that easily accessible.) 2) CODEC: JPEG-2000 strikes me as an interesting solution--and I can see from the postings that there is limited but growing technological support. What are the most appropriate storage mediums for JPEG2000? I've seen DVD's, SAIT, LT, and HDD talked about. (What about dual layer/double- sided DVD?) 3) COMPUTER TAPE LIFE: If we go with a tape backup solution, what is the estimated lifetime of those tapes? 4) COMPRESSION SIZE: I’ve read in the archives that JPEG-2000 files generally run 25-30 GB/hour. What are the specs for that? One fellow here did a test digitization on his Mac at Audio 48k, 24 bit, video 48 khz, 720x480, 24 bits per second, 29.97 frames per second and claimed he had about 12 GB/hr Uncompressed file. What specs are recommended? 5) OUTSOURCING: Any companies out there I could discuss this with further off line? Thanks for all your help. Sincerely, Eric Fedus Keene, NH 603-357-0084 Eric Fedus 2006-01-17T19:11:05 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.information-retrieval.j2karclib/48 As a follow-on to last summer's gathering of video archivists and technologists here at the National Library of Medicine, I have been considering ways to encourage lossless video encoding for preservation, with a particular interest in JPEG 2000 frame encodings. Towards that end, and following a suggestion by Ron Murray at the Library of Congress about MPEG-A as an attractive vehicle for cross-cutting standards, I've drafted a "strawman" set of documents for the community's consideration, which may be found at http://archive.nlm.nih.gov/VideoArchivists2005/follow-on.html. You will find there two short introductory web pages, that present the thrust of this effort, and a download of four strawman Word documents. I would encourage you to look over this material, to see if there are aspects of importance to you, which you might help to refine, extend, or redirect. For the endeavor to be ultimately successful, some organizations will need to commit support for selected aspects or the whole. If interested in this work, a new (rather minimal) discussion forum site has just been set up at http://archive.nlm.nih.gov/vaforum/. Please consider posting to it.
