I've got to second Scott on this. We created JP2000s from a collection of hundreds of large (up to 270 MB) and compressed TIFFs, and Djatoka/Kakadu didn't miss a beat.
I tried several other tools, including ImageMagick, trying to get the quality we needed while providing the best scriptable solution for a future workflow. After a couple of days with Djatoka/Kakadu, I just threw a lot of RAM at the process and stopped looking for anything better. The quality was there, the JP2000s were created quickly, and I didn't get any occasional random errors that I ran into with other tools. -- Stacy Pennington Rhodes College penning...@rhodes.edu (901) 843-3968 -----Original Message----- From: Scott Prater [mailto:pra...@wisc.edu] Sent: Tuesday, November 16, 2010 8:27 AM To: nt...@york.ac.uk; Support and info exchange list for Fedora users. Subject: Re: [fcrepo-user] JPEG2000 image format generation We tried several years ago using ImageMagick, but the performance was pretty poor. Shortly thereafter, we purchased a license for the Aware image server and jp2000 utilities. That is what we currently use for our production image processing. We are in the process, however, of migrating our image processing workflow and server over to Djatoka, which uses Kakadu under the hood. Though we're still in the early stages of refining our image processing workflow, so far we're pleased with the Kakadu libraries. If you're willing to pay a little bit more, you can purchase the source code, and tweak it even more. -- Scott Nigel V Thomas wrote: > Hello all, > > We are in the process of trialling JPEG2000 (J2K) format for image streaming > and have tried a few libraries for converting between our archival images > (TIFF's) to J2K.
