CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 15444-1:04

This National Standard is equivalent to International Standard ISO/IEC 15444-1:2000. The electronic copy of this Standard contains Technical Corrigendums 1, 2, and 3. 1 Scope This Recommendation | International Standard defines a set of lossless (bit-preserving) and lossy compression methods for coding bi-level, continuous-tone grey-scale, palletized color, 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 codestream 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
