NASA, through the CCSDS, has developed a lossy image compression format for low power transmission (CCSDS 122.0-R-1). This format needs to be converted to a more useful format for ground based dissemination. The CCSDS format is a wavelet format, as is JPEG2000, so Cybernet is creating a conversion tool from CCSDS to JPEG2000 that minimizes the error introduced from the decoding/encoding process. This toolkit contains implementations of JPEG2000, the CCSDS specification, and other infrastructure. The final goal is to provide the most commonly used implementation of the CCSDS encoder and decoder.
