The joint photographic experts group (JPEG) 2000 image compression system is being used for cultural heritage preservation. The authors are aware of over a dozen of big memory institutions worldwide using this format. This paper aims to review and explain choices for end users to help resolve trade-offs that these users are likely to encounter in practice.,The JPEG 2000 format is quite complex and therefore sometimes considered as a preservation risk. A lossy compression is governed by a number of parameters that control compression speed and rate-distortion trade-off. Their inappropriate adjustment may fairly easily lead to sub-optimal compression performance. This paper provides general guidelines for selecting the most appropriate parameters for a specific application.,This paper serves as a guide for the preservation of digital heritage in cultural heritage institutions, including libraries, archives and museums.,This paper serves as a guide for the preservation of digital heritage in cultural heritage institutions, including libraries, archives and museums.

JPEG 2000：数字图书馆指南

联合摄影专家组（JPEG）2000图像压缩系统正在用于文化遗产保护。作者意识到全世界有十多个使用这种格式的大内存机构。本文旨在审查和解释最终用户的选择，以帮助解决这些用户在实践中可能遇到的折衷。JPEG 2000格式非常复杂，因此有时被视为存在保存风险。有损压缩受控制压缩速度和速率失真权衡的许多参数控制。他们不适当的调整可能很容易导致次优的压缩性能。本文提供了针对特定应用选择最合适参数的一般准则。
