Real time implementation of JPEG2000

Some applications, like medical or satellite imagery systems for example, require a real time implementation of the JPEG2000 coder. This paper describes a possible implementation on a platform based on the MPC74XX processor, and a complexity study for this platform is presented. After a brief summary of the different components of a JPEG2000 coder, a description of the MPC74XX processor and an example will be given to illustrate its possibilities. Then some measurements and evaluations of the complexity of JPEG2000 will be described.
