The JPEG-LS Encoder by Parretto offers a highly efficient implementation of the JPEG-LS lossless image compression standard for FPGA applications. This encoder is noted for its superior performance in lossless compression tasks compared to alternatives like JPEG-2000, owing to its reduced resource requirements and minimized latency.
One remarkable feature of this encoder is its ability to handle image sample depths ranging from 8 to 16 bits, delivering leading compression results without necessitating external memory. The encoder operates with less than one line of encoding latency, enhancing efficiency in processing high volumes of data swiftly.
For developers seeking seamless integration into their systems, the JPEG-LS Encoder provides configurable output data word width and supports ultra-high definition formats. It allows pixel and data FIFO input/output or Avalon Streaming interface with back pressure, optimally balancing performance and compatibility with existing infrastructure. This makes it an advantageous choice for tasks requiring superior image compression in resource-constrained environments.
