Abstract : A novel scheme is proposed for the transmission of JPEG2000 image streams over wireless channels. The proposed scheme exploits the block-based coding structure of the JPEG2000 streams and employs optimized product codes consisting of Turbo codes and Reed-Solomon codes in order to deal effectively with burst errors. The optimization is based on information extracted directly from the compressed JPEG2000 streams. The resulting scheme is tested for the transmission of compressed JPEG2000 images over wireless channels and is shown to outperform other recent algorithms for the wireless transmission of images.
