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.

I just had a look at Glymur, and that's the kind of code that's useful but you really don't want to write. I suggested JPEG 2000 simply because it's a well-known wavelet based algorithm. The scope of Ankit's GSoC should be *algorithms* imho; dealing with file formats, metatdata, etc. would be a huge time sink and out of scope for both scipy and scikit-image I'd think.

SunPy has had a lot of contact from the Glymur dev he is a helpful guy.
