FP5 IST-2000-28646, PRIAM, “Platform for real-time Interactive Access to Mega-images” (2001-2003)
The project has validated the advantages of the new JPEG-2000 standard in the development of critical and real time applications such as medical and remote sensing applications. These applications require efficient implementation of the (de-)compression algorithms for very large images, interactive tools for data selection and personalisation of the content, as well as cooperative discussions and decisions (including diagnostics for the medical applications).
OBJECTIVES
To promote the use of JPEG-2000 for visual communications in the field of scientific digital images by a specific parametrization of the standard to very large sized images. To demonstrate the scalability and the versatility of the standard by developing an open platform for getting an interactive, secure and multimodal access to very large sized images through IP connections. A two levels architecture has been proposed, one for session management based on session protocols of the IETF and the other for image communications based on JPEG-2000. To develop dedicated tools for setting real-time connections to large image databases. To validate the developed platform and concepts through two user-oriented trials in the field of remote sensing and medical images exchanges.
