The JPEG-LS Encoder core from Parretto is designed to provide superior lossless image compression, compliant with the JPEG-LS standard, known for its efficacy in reducing data without compromising image integrity. Adhering to the ISO/IEC 14495-1 and ITU-T Rec. T.87 specifications, this encoder surpasses JPEG-2000 in many cases due to its minimal resource requirements and negligible latency.
It delivers remarkable compression performance for images with sample depths ranging from 8 to 16 bits, and operates with less than one line of encoding latency, eliminating the need for external memory. The core is capable of processing one pixel per clock cycle and offers configurable output data word widths to tailor to specific image processing tasks.
This encoder ensures seamless data flow with its pixel and FIFO data interfaces, or alternatively, through an Avalon Streaming interface equipped with back-pressure support. It is suitable for high-resolution image processing up to ultra-high-definition levels, making it a flexible and effective solution for a wide range of imaging applications.
