Wavelet transforms in the JPEG-2000 standard

Numerous issues associated with wavelet transforms in the JPEG-2000 Part-1 standard (i.e., ISO/IEC 15444-1) are studied. The dynamic range of wavelet transform coefficients and computational complexity of wavelet transforms are examined. Also, the effect of wavelet transforms on coding efficiency is investigated. The information presented may prove beneficial to those developing JPEG-2000 codec implementations.
