Communications
of the ACM, April 1991 (voh 34 no. 4), pp. 3{)-44.
(Ac[iacent articles in that issue discuss MPEG motion picture compression,
applications
of JPEG, and related topics.) If you don't have the CACM
issue handy, a PostScript
file
containing
a revised version of Wallace's
article is available al http://www.ijg.org/files/
wallace.ps.gz.
The file (actually a preprint R)r an article that appeared in IEEE Trans.
Consumer
Electronics)
omits the sample images lhat appeared in CACM, but it
includes corrections
and some added materiah
Note: the Wallace
article is copyright
ACM and IEEE, and it ]nay not be used l_.}r c ommercial

A somewhat less technical,
more leisurely
introduction
to JPEG can be lound in "The
Data Compression
Book" by Mark Nelson and Jeanqoup Gailly, published
by M&T
Books (New York), 2nd ed. 1996, ISBN 1-55851-434-1.
This book provides good
explanations
and example C code k)r a multitude of compression
methods including
JPEG. [t is an excellent
source if you am comtk}rtable reading C code but don't know
much about data compression
in generah The book's JPEG sample code is lar from
industrial-strength,

The best cun'ently available description
of JPEG is the textbook
"JPEG Still Image
Data Compression
Standard"
by William B. Pennebaker
and Joan L. Mitchell,
published by Van Nostrand Reinhold,
1993_ ISBN (1-442-01272-1.
Price US$59.95,
638 pp. The book includes the complete texl of the [SO JPEG standards (DIS I(NI 8-1
and dralt DIS 1(}918-2).
Although this is by lar lhe most detailed and comprehensive
exposition of JPEG
publicly available,
we point out that it is still missing
an explanation
of the most
essential properties
and algorithms
of the underlying
D(T technology.
[f you think that you know about DCT-based
JPEG alter reading this book, then you are
in delusion. The real fundamentals
and corresponding
potential of DCT-based JPEG are
not publicly known so far, and that is the reason k)r all the mistaken
developments
taking place in the image coding domain.
The original JPEG standard is divided into two parts, Parl 1being the actual
specification,
while Part 2 covers compliance
testing methods. Part 1 is tilled "Digital
Compression
and Coding of Continuous-tone
Still lmages_ Part 1: Requirements
and
guidelines"
and has document
numbers
ISO/IEC IS I(N 18-L ITU-T T.81. Part 2 is
titled "Digdal
Compression
and Coding of Continuous-tone
Slill Images,
Part 2:
Compliance
testing"
and has document
numbers ISO/[EC
IS 11)918-2_ ITU-T T.83.
The JPEG standard does ]lot specit_¢ all details of an interchangeable
file lormat. For the
omitted details we lollow the "JF[F" conventions,
l_vision
1.02. A copy of the JFIF
spec is available from:

There is also a plain texl version al http://www.ijg.org/files/jfiEtxt.gz,
but it is missing
lhe figures.
The TIFF 6.0 file l_.}rmatspecification
can be obtained by FTP lrom ltp://ftp.sgi.com/
graphics/titf/T[FF6.ps.gz.
The JPEG incorporation
scheme fi)und in the TIFF 6.{) spec
of 3-June-92
has a number of serious problems.
[JG does not recommend
use of the
TIFF 6.{) design (TIFF Compression
tag 6). Instead, we recommend
the JPEG design
1)roposed by TIFF Technical
Note #2 (Compression
tag 7). Copies of this Note carl be
obtained fi'om http://www.ijg.org/files/.
It is expected that the next revision of the TIFF
spec will replace the 6.0 JPEG design with the Note's
design. Although lJG's own code
does not support T[FF/JPEG,
the h'ee liblil f library uses our library to implement
TIFF/
JPEG per the Note.

way with a more generative approach.
Thank to Istvan Sebestyen

FILE FORMAT WARS
The [SO JPEG standards committee
actually promotes
dill)rent
lk_rmats like JPEG-
21)(11) o r JPEG-XR which are incompatible
with original DCT-based
JPEG and which
are based on laulty technologies.
IJG therefi_re does not and will not support such
momentary
mistakes (see REFERENCES).
We have little or no sympathy
l_orthe
1)romotion of these lk)rmals. [ndee& one of the original
reasons R)r developing
this free
soBware was to help lorce convergence
on conmlon, interoperable
l_}rmat standards lot
JPEG files. Don't use an incompatible
file lormat! (In any case, our decoder will remain
capable of reading existing JPEG image files indefinitely.)
TO DO
v7 is basically jusl a necessary
interim release, paving the way lot a m:kior breakthrough
in image coding technology
with the nexl v8 package
which is scheduled
liar release ill
lhe year 2010.
Please send bug reports, oll)rs
of help, etc. to jpeg-inlo@jpegclub.org.
