Figure 1. JPEG 2000 applications. Click here to see an enlarged diagram. The JPEG 2000 standard, finalized in 2001, defines a new image-coding scheme using compression techniques based on wavelet ...

Yes, I understand why the initial compression of a bitmap (not necessarily a .BMP) to a JPEG is lossy, via the quantization step after DCT. But if I decompress a JPEG back to a new bitmap, and then re ...

Mozilla has released an updated version of its JPEG compression tool that shaves down file sizes by 5 percent, a small figure but one that is significant for image-intensive Web services such as ...

JPG was developed to compress photos with lossy compression, which greatly reduced file sizes–a decisive advantage in the early days of the Internet when storage space and bandwidth were still scarce ...

The Guetzli project shows there's room to improve the venerable compression tech. Too bad Google's software is slow and not so practical for most sites right now. Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from ...

Image compression, once the domain of the PC, is becoming pervasive in embedded environments. This trend is largely a result of the increased processing power and multimedia capabilities of new DSPs.

Google has announced a new open-source encoder which utilizes an algorithm that enables it to compress JPEG files by 35% more than currently available methods with minimal loss in quality. Google has ...

JPEG is the image format we use the most in the world, be it in our computers, smartphones or digital cameras. But it is actually more than that. JPEG is also an international group of experts, which ...
