Image Compression Standards

Recent years have seen an explosion in the availability of digital images. In this chapter, we examine some current image compression standards and demonstrate how techniques presented in Chaps. 7 and 8 are applied in practice. We first describe how transform coding based on DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform), quantization, and entropy coding are explored in the standard JPEG, used in most images, then go on to look at the wavelet-based JPEG2000 standard. Two other standards, JPEG-LS—aimed particularly at a lossless JPEG, outside the main JPEG standard—and JBIG, for bilevel image compression, are included for completeness.
