Feature Representation

In addition to the generic FME feature attributes that FME Workbench adds to all features (see About Feature Type Attributes), this format adds the format-specific attributes described in this topic.

  • profile1
  • profile2

Profile 0, 1, and 2 are part of the JPEG 2000 standard. Profile 0 codestreams are not allowed to use some of the features of JPEG 2000, but still provide many of the features of JPEG 2000. Profile 1 codestreams are only slightly limited from JPEG 2000. Profile 2 codestreams have no constraints. Profile 0 has the greatest compatibility.

NATO and NGA (National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency) have established additional profiles for certain workflows. These include NPJE (NSIF Preferred JPEG 2000 Encoding) and EPJE (Exploitation Preferred JPEG 2000 Encoding).

This is a writer attribute.
