Hello Aaron:
I really appreciate your enthusiasm and efforts on some works related dicom viewer!! Particullary improve jpeg2000 decoding!
But it is unfortunately that I do not have much experience on image encoding and decoding.
I am a researcher on an university and focus on computer graphics and visualization, particularly on medical visualization.
Actually, i had some thoughts on dicom viewer based on web before one and half year. From that time, i continually investigated and researched
all critical components for it both browser and server side. When i was at UC Davis as an visiting scholar last year, i involved a project about
remoting medical visualization. However, my work is more emphasis on the realization of prototypes and technology paths, rather than a usable system.
So, i only can dump some thoughts and experiences for community. Support you continually to improve your jpeg2000 with OpenCL.
Now, OpenJPEG is now officially conformant with JPEG 2000 Part-1 and will soon become official reference software at the JPEG committee.
So, if you work on OpenJPEG like work of libjpeg-turbo, it is a great achievement absolutely!
