CSA Group Information technology - Digital compression and coding of continuous-tone still images: Requirements and guidelines (Adopted ISO/IEC 10918-1:1994, first edition, 1994-02-15)

CSA Preface Standards development within the Information Technology sector is harmonized with international standards development. Through the CSA Technical Committee on Information Technology (TCIT), Canadians serve as the Canadian Advisory Committee (CAC) on ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1 on Information Technology (ISO/IEC JTC1) for the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), the ISO member body for Canada and sponsor of the Canadian National Committee of the IEC. Also, as a member of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Canada participates in the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (ITU-T). For brevity, this Standard will be referred to as "CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 10918-1" throughout. This Standard has been formally approved, without modification, by the Technical Committee and has been approved as a National Standard of Canada by the Standards Council of Canada. Scope This CCITT Recommendation I International Standard is applicable to continuous-tone - grayscale or colour - digital still image data. It is applicable to a wide range of applications which require use of compressed images. It is not applicable to bi-level image data. This Specification - specifies processes for converting source image data to compressed image data; - specifies processes for converting compressed image data to reconstructed image data; - gives guidance on how to implement these processes in practice; - specifies coded representations for compressed image data. NOTE - This Specification does not specify a complete coded image representation. Such representations may include certain parameters, such as aspect ratio, component sample registration, and colour space designation, which are application dependent.
