Motivation • Dissemination of the JPEG 2000 has been slow. • There are few commercial plug-ins that enable users to create JPEG 2000 documents • sporadic use • not readily available to the average user. • Users should be enabled to easily test the benefits of the new file format, and compare it to the well known ones (TIFF, JPEG, GIF, etc.)
Projects at the RIT • On-line image conversion service • Improve dissemination • Annotation of J2K images • Demonstrate archival advantages of JP2 family
On-line image conversion service • Idea: • Enable on-line image conversion to JPEG 2000 • No JPEG 2000 plug-in or application needed to convert image • Free plug-ins for browsers are available
On-line image conversion service user ANY IMAGE JP2 IMAGE converter app. browser server image database
Annotation of J2K images • Idea: • Any region within the image can be annotated in XML format (using asoc, roid, and lbl boxes) • Create complete set of tools to: • Annotate JP2 images • Upload JP2 images to server, automatically extract annotations from the image, parse that information, and transfer them to an Oracle database • Tool to search JP2 Metadata information stored in database and return not only the info, but also the image (thumbnail and full version)
Annotation phase userJim JPX/JP2 IMAGE annotation app. browser server extractor app. image database
Search phase userJim Search request JP2 IMAGE browser server image database
Principle: Region Selection • Any region of the image can be selected for annotation gray sky green bushes Porche car
Principle: Annotation Creation • Currently the following data is stored for each region • User Name • Description • Current Date • Coordinates (x, y, width, height) • Any additional form of metadata can be added
Annotation Creation Example Coordinate Information New Box “jimk” Current Date Image Region Description Author
XML Format • Annotations are stored in a new box called “jimk” in XML Format
Client Interface • Client interface supports: • Ability to upload JP2 images using a web interface and automatically extract XML information into an Oracle Database • As a result: • JP2 Images are searchable based on their embedded metadata information
Demo • Annotation Creation • Upload and Search Features
Issues • Plug in • Server • Annotation standardization (tags) • JPX vs. JP2
