This International Standard defines a normative but optional file format for storing compound images using the JPEG 2000 file format family architecture.This format is an extension of the JP2 file format defined in ITU-T Rec T.800 |ISO/IEC 15444-1 Annex I and uses boxes defined for both the JP2 file format and the JPX fileformat defined in ITU-T Rec T.801 |ISO/IEC 15444-2 Annex M.This standard is useful for applications storing multiple pages,images with mixed content,and/or images that need more structure than provided in JP2.Applications that implement this file format shall implement it as described in this International Standard.This International Standard-specifies a binary container for multiple bi-level and continuous-tone images used to represent a compound image,—specifies a mechanism by which multiple images can be combined into a single compound image, based on the Mixed Raster Content mode—specifies a mechanism for grouping multipe images in a hierarchy of layout objects,pages andpage collections,—specifies a mechanism for storing JPEG 2000 and other compressed image data formats,—specifies a mechanism by which metadata can be included in files specified by thisInternational Standard.
