[gdal-dev] New JP2Grok Driver for JPEG 2000

[Even Rouault]

Sean,

my quick look at the JP2Grok driver code is that it doesn't generate the 
HTJ2K / Part 15 variant of JPEG2000, at least there's nothing suggesting 
that (didn't try running it). I guess that there would be a need for a 
dedicated creation option in the driver for that to happen, so there 
shouldn't be interoperability issues of the files it generates with 
other JPEG2000 capable drivers.

I'm not sure which support of HTJ2K the ECW and MrSID SDKs have. I 
believe there's such support Kakadu in recent releases, but might be 
subject to extra fees (or perhaps for  faster support)

There's a BSD 2 licensed implementation of HTJ2K in 
https://github.com/aous72/OpenJPH . From what I see, Grok HTJ2K support 
has incorporated some of that code.  So for a BSD 2 compatible use in 
GDAL, either a GDAL driver should be built from OpenJPH as a standalone 
library, or relevant parts of OpenJPH should be "ported" to OpenJPEG.
