The JPEG Still Picture Compression Standard
Excerpt:
Advances over the past decade in many aspects of digital technology
especially devices for image acquisition, data storage, and bitmapped
printing and display have brought about many applications of digital
imaging. However, these applications tend to be specialized due to
their relatively high cost. With the possible exception of facsimile,
digital images are not commonplace in general-purpose computing
systems the way text and geometric graphics are. The majority of
modern business and consumer usage of photographs and other types of
images takes place through more traditional analog means.
