CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 14492:04 (R2017)

This National Standard of Canada is equivalent to International Standard ISO/IEC 14492:2001 (first edition, 2001-12-15). 1 Scope This Recommendation | International Standard defines methods for coding bi-level images and sets of images (documents consisting of multiple pages). It is particularly suitable for bi-level images consisting of text and dithered (halftone) data. The methods defined permit lossless (bit-preserving) coding, lossy coding, and progressive coding. In progressive coding, the first image is lossy; subsequent images may be lossy or lossless. This Recommendation | International Standard also defines file formats to enclose the coded bi-level image data.
