This document summarizes an article that proposes modifications to the JPEG 2000 image compression standard to achieve higher compression ratios while maintaining acceptable error rates. The proposed Adaptive JPEG 2000 technique involves pre-processing images with a transfer function to make them more suitable for compression by JPEG 2000. This is intended to provide higher compression ratios than the original JPEG 2000 standard while keeping root mean square error within allowed thresholds. The document provides background on JPEG 2000 and lossy image compression techniques, describes the proposed pre-processing approach, and indicates it was tested on single-channel images.
