On the standardization of the JPEG XT image compression
The ISO recently started a standardization initiative on a forwards-compatible extension of its popular JPEG (ISO/IEC 10918-1) standard. This new standard aims at carefully extending the feature set of the existing technology while preserving the established tool chain built around its 20 years old predecessor. In this work, an overview on JPEG XT, its goals and the underlying technology will be given, and two of the proposed coding technologies for JPEG XT are compared side by side.
