C Quick JPEG 2000 - CQJ2K

Introduction

CQJ2K is a JPEG 2000 quick encoder and decoder library written in C. It implements the standard defined as ISO/IEC 15444-1 or ITU T.800, in its first, basic part.

This project has begun in July 2011, thus it is living its childhood and there are yet many things to do. To begin, it is conceived to comply with Digital cinema requirements, at least. It has a nice timing performance, as can be seen in the figure below.
