JPEG2000-PIL JPEG 2000 (ISO 15444)

Extensions: .jp2, .j2k, .jpc, .jpf, .jpx, .j2c

A JPEG 2000 format based on Pillow.

This format supports grayscale and RGB images.

Parameters for reading

pilmode : str

From the Pillow documentation:

• ‘L’ (8-bit pixels, grayscale)
• ‘P’ (8-bit pixels, mapped to any other mode using a color palette)
• ‘RGB’ (3x8-bit pixels, true color)
• ‘RGBA’ (4x8-bit pixels, true color with transparency mask)
• ‘CMYK’ (4x8-bit pixels, color separation)
• ‘YCbCr’ (3x8-bit pixels, color video format)
• ‘I’ (32-bit signed integer pixels)
• ‘F’ (32-bit floating point pixels)

PIL also provides limited support for a few special modes, including ‘LA’ (‘L’ with alpha), ‘RGBX’ (true color with padding) and ‘RGBa’ (true color with premultiplied alpha).

When translating a color image to grayscale (mode ‘L’, ‘I’ or ‘F’), the library uses the ITU-R 601-2 luma transform:

L = R * 299/1000 + G * 587/1000 + B * 114/1000

as_gray : bool

If True, the image is converted using mode ‘F’. When mode is not None and as_gray is True, the image is first converted according to mode, and the result is then “flattened” using mode ‘F’.

Parameters for saving

quality_mode

Either “rates” or “dB” depending on the units you want to use to specify image quality.

quality

Approximate size reduction (if quality mode is rates) or a signal to noise ratio in decibels (if quality mode is dB).

Note

To enable JPEG 2000 support, you need to build and install the OpenJPEG library, version 2.0.0 or higher, before building the Python Imaging Library.

Windows users can install the OpenJPEG binaries available on the OpenJPEG website, but must add them to their PATH in order to use PIL (if you fail to do this, you will get errors about not being able to load the _imaging DLL).
