CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 15444-1:18

This Recommendation International Standard defines a set of lossless (bit-preserving) and lossy compression methods for coding bi-level, continuous-tone grey-scale, palletized colour, or continuous-tone colour digital still images. This Recommendation International Standard: - specifies decoding processes for converting compressed image data to reconstructed image data; - specifies a code stream syntax containing information for interpreting the compressed image data; - specifies a file format; - provides guidance on encoding processes for converting source image data to compressed image data; - provides guidance on how to implement these processes in practice. NOTE - As this specification was first published as common text only after ISO/IEC HCI had approved the first edition in 2000, edition numbers in the ITU and ISO/IEC versions are offset by one. This is the second edition of ITU-T T.8OO and the third edition of ISO/IEC 15444-1.
