The JPEGLS-E core from Alma technologies is an ISO/IEC 14495-1 compliant JPEG-LS encoder that offers a very compact and high-performance solution for up to 16-bit per component numerically lossless image and video data compression. The JPEG-LS standard offers the JPEG 2000 lossless compression efficiency advantage in much more compact silicon footprint implementations and without requiring access to an external memory device.
