JPEG-LS Compression IP Core - CAST

CAST, Inc announced new JPEG-LS compression intellectual property (IP) core. The new JPEGLS-E Encoder Core implements the ISO/IEC 14495-1 JPEG-LS standard. It is designed to efficiently compress continuous grayscale and tone color images with lossless and near-lossless levels of quality.

CAST’s JPEG-LS compression IP core offers a compact physical size and unusually-high processing rate-up to 161 MSps on an FPGA, enabling HDTV processing-and has automatic and programmable features that simplify system integration. Compared with lossless JPEG, the JPEG-LS core offers a higher compression level with a similar physical size. Compared with JPEG 2000’s lossless mode, it provides equivalent or greater compression with much smaller hardware.

JPEG-LS compression IP core is available immediately for ASICs and FPGAs.
