CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 10918-3-00 (R2013)

This National Standard of Canada is equivalent to International Standard ISO/IEC 10918-3:1997 (first edition, 1997-05-01). 1 Scope This Recommendation | International Standard is applicable to continuous-tone - grayscale or colour - digital still image data. It is applicable to a wide range of applications which require use of compressed images. This Recommendation | International Standard: - defines extensions [including variable quantization, selective refinement, tiling, and a Still Picture Interchange File Formar (SPIFF)] to processes for converting source image data to compressed image data; - defines extensions to processes for converting compresed image data reconstructed image data; - defines coded representations for compressed image data; - gives guidance and examples on how to implement these extensions in practice; - describes compliance tests for these extensions.
