Abstract

This overview focuses on a comparison of lossless compression capabilities of the international standard algorithms for still image compression known as MH, MR, MMR, JBIG, and JPEC. Where the algorithms have parameters to select, these parameters have been carefully set to achieve maximal compression. Compression variations due to differences in data are illustrated and scaling of these compression results with spatial resolution or amplitude precision are explored. These algorithms are also summarized in terms of the compression technology they utilize, with further references given for precise technical details and the specific international standards involved
