echnologies de l'information - Compression sans perte et quasi sans perte d'images fixes à modelé continu : Extensions

This Recommendation International Standard defines a set of lossless (bit-preserving) and nearly lossless (where the error for each reconstructed sample is bounded by a predefined value) compression methods for coding continuous-tone (including bi-level), gray-scale, or colour digital still images.

This Recommendation International Standard:

- specifies extensions (including arithmetic coding, extension of near lossless coding, extension of prediction and extension of Golomb coding) to processes for converting source image data to compressed image data;

- specifies extensions to processes for converting compressed image data to reconstructed image data including an extension for sample tranformation for inverse colour transforms;

- specifies coded representations for compressed image data;

- provides guidance on how to implement these processes in practice.
