ResumoJPEG 2000, the new ISO/ITU-T standard for still image coding, has recently reached the International Standard (IS) status. Other new standards have been recently introduced, namely JPEG-LS and MPEG-4 VTC. This paper provides a comparison of JPEG 2000 with JPEG-LS and MPEG-4 VTC, in addition to older but widely used solutions, such as JPEG and PNG, and well established algorithms, such as SPIHT. Lossless compression efficiency, fixed and progressive lossy rate-distortion performance, as well as complexity and robustness to transmission errors, are evaluated. Region of Interest coding is also discussed and its behavior evaluated. Finally, the set of provided functionalities of each standard is also evaluated. In addition, the principles behind each algorithm are briefly described. The results show that the choice of the “best” standard depends strongly on the application at hand, but that JPEG 2000 supports the widest set of features among the evaluated standards, while providing superior rate-distortion performance in most cases.
