LuraWave JP2 is the world's leading implementation of the new still image compression standard JPEG2000. It was specifically designed with emphasis on applications in the fields of modern web-based graphics, databases and mobile communications. Thanks to its state-of-the-art wavelet technology LuraWave JP2 offers significantly improved visual quality at higher compression rates than the widely used JPEG standard.
LuraWave JP2 is available as:
-
Image Content Server:
Software toolkit that delivers high-resolution JPEG2000 Images and Documents over the Internet
-
ActiveX Control & Browser PlugIn:
allows the display of JPEG2000-compressed files over the internet trough Netscape and Microsoft browsers
-
Irfanview PlugIn:
allows standard compliant compression and decompression of JPEG2000 files within "IrfanView"
-
SmartCompress:
converts the most commonly used image formats to JPEG2000 (*.jp2)
-
GeoView:
high performance viewer for extra large images
-
Command-Line Tool:
stand-alone program capable of compressing large numbers of images and converting them to the LuraWave JP2 file format.
-
C-SDK / .NET-SDK:
Software Development Kit facilitates the integration of the LuraWave JP2 compression/decompression algorithm into C/C++ applications
-
Java/JNI-SDK:
Software Development Kit facilitates the integration of the LuraWave JP2 compression/decompression algorithm into Java applications

Performance of LuraWave JP2
compared to the JPEG and TIFF image formats
|
|
|
LuraTech has been utilizing and developing wavelet technology for years. It has found application in LuraTech's high performance image compression for digital images, LuraWave. Wavelet technology makes high visual quality at small file sizes possible. It is often sufficient to store less than one percent of the original amount of data to recreate a high quality digital image. It is, for example, possible to reduce a high-resolution 10 MByte image to about 100kByte without noticeable loss in visual quality.

Possible Applications for LuraWave JP2
|
|
|
LuraWave JP2 is compatible with the new international image compression standard JPEG2000. This makes LuraWave JP2 your compression format of choice for high visual quality at low storage requirement wherever compatibility with the systems of a heterogenous group of users is required:
|
-
Digital Photography
e.g. for manufacturers and users of digital cameras.
-
Digital Image Processing
e.g. for manufacturers and users of standard image processing software.
-
Digital Image Archives Accessible from the Inter- and Intranet
e.g. for news archives and image providers.
-
Image Databases
e.g. criminal records especially if the data has to be accessible through the internet by several different local users.
|
|
|
|
-
Web-Based Digital Cameras
e.g. in video surveillance of buildings and facilities
|
|
|
-
Wireless Image Data Transfer
e.g. in satellite based meteorological surveillance
|
|
|
|
-
X-Ray Diagnostics
especially if the X-Ray images are to be shared through the inter- or intranet for a joint diagnosis or are to be stored in web-based databases
