Region Of Interest (ROI) coding is one of the innovative functionalities supported by JPEG 2000, the new ISO/ITU-T still image coding standard developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). It enables a non-uniform distribution of the image quality between a selected region (the ROI) and the rest of the image (background). This feature is obtained by scaling background coefficients in the wavelet domain. According to the ROI maxshift method defined in JPEG 2000 part I (baseline algorithm), the background bit-planes are down-shifted below all ROI coefficients. In addition, the ROI can have any shape as the latter does not need to be transmitted to a JPEG 2000 decoder (no codestream overhead due to the coding of the shape). On the contrary, this method requires decoding of all ROI coefficients before accessing bit-planes of the background. Furthermore, it uses large shifting values that significantly increase the number of total bit-planes to encode. In JPEG 2000 part 2 (extensions), a generic (Scaling based) ROI coding has been included. This method supports any scaling values. In particular, it allows a rough control on both ROI and background qualities distributions in the codestream, but implies the derivation of a ROI bit-mask at the decoding side. This paper starts by providing some hints on how to choose an optimal maxshift scaling value, as well as how to pad the ROI extra bits appearing during the shift operation. Then, it proposes an encoding algorithm that combines advantages of both ROI methods. This algorithm can be used by applications where visually lossless ROI's is acceptable and is based on an extension of the maxshift method to low scaling values. The generated codestreams remain compliant with the maxshift decoding algorithm described in JPEG 2000 part 1, and can be consequently handled by any JPEG 2000 decoder.

Regions Of Interest coding (ROI) is the important and convenient image coding technique and is supported by JPEG 2000. It enables a non-uniform distribution of the image quality between selected regions of interest and the background. This paper provides a novel ROI bitplanes shift method based on compensation scheme called SHIFT-CS coding algorithm. The method firstly transmits the coding blocks of low-frequency important coefficients that are decoded. The residual coefficients in ROI mask can be transmitted on different bit-planes. When multiple regions of interest are encoded, every ROI has several bit-plane to be transmitted that can be resolved by the ROI's importance. In addition, different objectors can select different regions of interest by the low-quality reconstructive image according to different needs that realize to select ROI based on interactive net browser. The experiments show that SPIFT-CS method combines advantages of both ROI methods. Because the algorithm remain compliant with the maxshift decoding algorithm described in JPEG 2000 part 1, it is also simple and can be handled by any JPEG 2000 decoder.

The Region of Interest (ROI) coding is an important application of region-based still image coding and can encode these significant regions with higher quality than others (background). In this paper, we present a new region-based image coding method called Partial Subbands Maximum Bitplanes Shift (PSMBShift). The new method applies different scaling strategies for the different frequency subbands of wavelet image. In low and mediate frequency subbands, the maxshift method recommended by JPEG2000 standard is used to scale all bitplanes of the ROI coefficients. In high frequency subbands, only the partial most significant bitplanes of the ROI coefficients are scaled and the other bitplanes of the ROI coefficients are obtained in original position. The experiments show that the PSMBShift method can not only combine the advantages of the two standard methods of JPEG2000, but also can control efficiently the quality between the ROIs and BG by adjusting scaling values of high frequency subbands.

The JPEG 2000 standard is a wavelet based compression methodology that achieves nearly an order of magnitude better compression performance than the existing DCT-based JPEG standard. Thus, it is desirable to convert existing JPEG images into JPEG 2000 images in order to minimize the storage and/or communications bandwidth requirements. JPEG 2000's performance enhancement can be maximized if its Region of Interest (ROI) coding option is employed. Unfortunately, this option results in a low bit rate coder, which tends to be plagued with ringing artifacts due to the abrupt truncation of high frequency wavelet coefficients at the Rol edges. In this paper, we briefly describe a novel minimum distortion transcoding technology to convert compressed JPEG images into compressed JPEG 2000 images. Experimental results indicate that the visual quality of resulting images is improved, while the time required to download them has been dramatically deceased. We expect that these new techniques can also be applied to computer vision, medical imaging, and e-commerce applications.
