A Toolkit/Component Add-In by LEAD Technologies, Inc.

Key Features:

-Support for the JP2 file format and JPEG2000 Stream Data.
-Improved performance and quality.
-Lossless compression, meaning the decompressed image data is exactly as it was before compression.
-Support for four progressive display methods:
-Quality Axis - The image starts blurred and the sharpness increases as more image data is received.
-Resolution Axis - The image is loaded as a smaller version and the physical pixel size increases as more image data is received.
-Color Axis - The image is loaded one color plane at a time. The image starts loading as a grayscale image and the color will fill in as more image data is received.
-Position Axis - The image is loaded as blocks. As more image data is received, more blocks are displayed.
-Multiple resolutions can be stored in the same file without duplication of the image data providing the ability to only decode and display the size of image required by the application.
-Error checking and robustness allows the transmission of JPEG2000 encoded files over a noisy medium. If an error occurs in the decoding, the image will still be displayed.
-Control over the final size of the file without hit and miss quality factor adjustments.
