This document defines QuadBPT and TriBPT image components, collectively known as "breakpoint components", and specifies decoding and reconstruction procedures for recovering breakpoint component sample values from the codestream. This Recommendation | International Standard also specifies "breakpoint-dependent" spatial wavelet transforms that can be used in place of the transforms specified in Recommendation ITU-T T.800 | ISO/IEC 15444-1 for selected image components or tile-components. Extensions to the codestream syntax of Rec. ITU-T T.800 | ISO/IEC 15444-1 are specified to enable the identification of breakpoint components, of components that can use a breakpoint-dependent spatial wavelet transform, and the association of breakpoint components with such breakpoint-dependent wavelet transforms.
