- The recent growth in personal wireless communication devices being used for image transmission, have poised a challenge to protect this data against loss over mobile radio channels. The paper addresses this problem investigating error protection schemes in the context of JPEG2000 compressed imagery. More particularly, the results reported in this paper provide coding guidelines concerning the selection of appropriate Turbo Code parameters along with optimized JPEG2000 error resilience tools.
