The JPEG2000 standard was developed to address a wide range of video and imaging applications, including medical imaging, military, security systems, and digital cinema. To enable these applications, JPEG2000 has many unique features. All the features and compression efficiency, however, have significantly increased the algorithm complexity, making hardware acceleration a requirement for an efficient solution.

Digital signal processor-based JPEG2000 solutions are available, but hardware acceleration is needed to achieve the best price and performance implementation. Accordingly, ASSP-based JPEG2000 solutions have been developed, but their fixed nature prevents them from achieving the highest performance. FPGAs provide the ability to accelerate arithmetic operations via parallel processing, making them ideal for JPEG2000 applications compared to solutions that rely solely on digital signal processors or ASSPs.
