Digital image transmission method for a client-server system, encoded JPEG 2000 Image uses a server to access uncoded digital image information and a client with an enquiry/response control to send data to the server

摘要

A server (1) has access to uncoded digital image information (3) and includes a code-conversion unit (5) downstream to a JPEG 2000 encoding unit (4). A client (2) has an enquiry/response control (9) for transmitting information to the server relating to optional, dynamic access to the uncoded digital image information. The client has a JPEG 2000 decoder (6) available, which makes a decoded image available as a data set (7). An Independent claim is also included for a client-server system for transmitting from a client a piece of digital image data on a server encoded according to the JPEG 2000 Image Standard.
