Image compression, once the domain of the PC, is becoming pervasive in embedded environments. This trend is largely a result of the increased processing power and multimedia capabilities of new DSPs.

“The problem was not so much the lack of algorithms for image compression (as there is a long history of technical work in this area),” the authors wrote, “but, rather, the lack of a ...

JPEG 2000 applications. Click here to see an enlarged diagram. The JPEG 2000 standard, finalized in 2001, defines a new image-coding scheme using compression techniques based on wavelet technology.

Google claims that its new Guetzli software can produce JPEG files up to 35% than other available methods -- but our tests find only limited support for that claim.

Cloud syncing and sharing software company Dropbox today announced that it has released an image compression algorithm called Lepton under an Apache open source license on GitHub. Lepton can both ...

Google has developed and open-sourced a new JPEG algorithm that reduces file size by about 35 percent—or alternatively, image quality can be significantly improved while keeping file size ...

Google's new algorithm shrinks JPEG files by 35 percent The Guetzli encoder could literally cut down the size of the web.

Back in 2002, Forgent Networks began wielding threats over its purchase of a patent covering the compression algorithm used by the extremely popular JPEG image format. At the time, Forgent CEO ...

CAUSE: The JPEG compression used in the PDFs is a RGB algorithm. This means that any CMYK data that is compressed is actually converted CMYK->RGB->CMYK during the compression process.

Google has announce it has created a new algorithm called Guetzli that's been made to cut down the standard JPEG image file size by 35 percent.
