From my prospective, it's very hard for JP2K to survive, the reasons are
1. for low bit rate situation, MPEG4,H.264 can provide still image
compression, and a not bad compression ratio & quality.Many
application like DSC will adapt MPEG4,H.264 aren't they?
2. for medium compression rate, quality of traditional JPEG can be
accepted & the architecture 's much easier to implement
in my opinion, JPEG2000 has its own advantages:
1) low bit rate (high compression ratio)
2) can realize the resolution and quality scalability
3) and support much features that other standard can not support
So for DSC JPEG2000 may be not prevail
But someday it can be prevail in the internet
JPEG2000 is about to become the state-of-the-art technique for Digital Cinema. In recent conferences, many motion picture companies decided to encode their upcoming movies using JPEG2000 and not with JPEG, MPEG-x or H.26x. The Digital Cinema Initiatives program strongly recommend JPEG2000 as the future upcoming image compression technique. Basic Paradigm: Encode once, Decode and see at multiple resolutions, quality, devices.
