A simple JP2 file structure checker. Johan van der Knijff. National Library of the Netherlands (KB). Johans blog. Open Planets Foundation. 1 September 2011.
The KB is planning to migrate a collection of TIFF images to JP2. One major risk of such a migration is that hardware failures during the migration process may result in corrupted images. Others have found that corrupted, incomplete JP2 files can still be see as "well-formed and valid" by JHOVE. This tool was written to detect incomplete code streams in JP2 files. There are links to the source code of jp2StructCheck, some documentation, and a small data set with some test images. This will be an important tool for digital preservation.
