What people are saying about the Kakadu sdk:

Jim Reid from Xerox writes:


"I am very impressed with how well thought out the Kakadu design is and [Dr. Taubman's] grasp of object-oriented programming. ...  Based on my analysis on all the JPEG 2000 implementations out there, Kakadu is by far the best solution."
