Overview

CMW is a new advanced compression that is better than JPEG2000 in quality, speed and compression ratios. The LEADTOOLS CMW includes support for multiple resolutions. This makes your applications faster and more memory efficient because the entire file does not have to be loaded and decompressed just to load a low resolution image.

And, just like with JPEG2000, you have the ability to specify a progression order, giving you control over the display effect during a progressive decompression. The available progression orders are:

• Quality Axis - The image starts blurred and the sharpness increases as more image data is received.
• Resolution Axis - The image is loaded as a smaller version and the physical pixel size increases as more image data is received.
• Color Axis - The image is loaded one color plane at a time. The image starts loading as a grayscale image and the color will fill in as more image data is received.
• Position Axis - The image is loaded as blocks. As more image data is received, more blocks are displayed.

• Target file size
• Compression ratio
• Quality Factor

Key features that make CMW better than JPEG2000

• MW files are smaller than JPEG2000 files of comparable quality
• CMW files can be loaded and saved faster than comparable JPEG2000 files.
• Since there are fewer parameters to set, CMW files are easier to use.
