JPIP
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
JPIP is a compression streamlining protocol that works with JPEG 2000 to produce an image using the least bandwidth required. It can be very useful for medical purposes, among others, and many implementations of it are currently being produced, including the HiRISE camera's pictures, among others.
JPIP has the capacity to download only the requested part of a picture, saving bandwidth, computer processing on both ends, and time. It allows for the relatively quick viewing of a large image in low resolution, as well as a higher resolution part of the same image. It is likely that programs such as Google Earth will in the near future use the JPIP protocol in order to transmit their images.
