IMHO, the complete implementation of JPEG 2000 is not something I can manage completely in two and a half weeks. Meanwhile, I am going through the most cited paper<https://www.math.purdue.edu/~lucier/692/DJL-image-compression.pdf>that I got in this area 'Image Compression Through Wavelet Transform Coding', which seems big too.

As point of note, if you are looking into doing Python based JPEG200 you should look over the glymur project (https://github.com/quintusdias/glymur) which is Python wrappers around the OpenJPEG C lib. If you can code the compression algorithm in Python, that library might provide you some framework for dealing with the meta data and other things(which are in Python in glymur), save you re-inventing the wheel. SunPy has had a lot of contact from the Glymur dev he is a helpful guy.

Project not mentioned on the project ideas page
by syedtabish.a＠gmail.com March 18, 2014

March 18, 2014

Hi, I am interested in image/signal processing and have a decent exposure to various image processing algorithms. I would love to participate in gsoc'14, however I am not sure if I can submit a proposal as the project I want to work on is not mentioned on the project ideas page. I would like to work on visual saliency<http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Visual_salience>computation. As of now this module is not implemented in scikit-image. I would love to implement a bunch saliency algorithms for the proposed module. Please suggest if such a project is feasible, and whether I should go ahead with writing an elaborate proposal. Tabish.

Hey, Just going to chip in and say that having a pure Python (or Cython) JPEG2000 lib would be lovely for SunPy, so the compression is a good step along this path.

Desired Image Compression algorithms in scikit-image
by Ankit Agrawal March 18, 2014

March 18, 2014

Hi everyone, As a part of my proposal<https://github.com/scipy/scipy/wiki/GSoC-2014-:-Discrete-Wavelet-Transform-…>on integrating Discrete Wavelet Transforms and related algorithms into scipy.signal, I need some suggestions on some image compression algorithms that I can implement into scikit-image in 3 weeks. JPEG 2000 that uses DCT is one that is on the cards currently. Anyone with some knowledge on wavelet based image compression techniques can comment about some popular algorithms in this area. I am looking into a few papers but I found the literature on this topic relatively dispersed. Thanks. Cheers, Ankit.
