Communications of the ACM, April 1991 (vol. 34 no. 4), pp. 30-44.
(Adjacent 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 at http://www.ijg.org/files/
wallace.ps.gz. The file (actually a preprint for an article that appeared in IEEE Trans.
Consumer Electronics) omits the sample images that appeared in CACM, but it
includes corrections and some added material. Note: the Wallace article is copyright
ACM and IEEE, and it may not be used for commercial purposes.
A somewhat less technical, more leisurely introduction to JPEG can be found in "The
Data Compression Book" by Mark Nelson and Jean-loup 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 for a multitude of compression methods including
JPEG. It is an excellent source if you are comfortable reading C code but don't know
much about data compression in general. The book's JPEG sample code is far from
industrial-strength, but when you are ready to look at a full implementation, you've got
one here...
The best currently 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 0-442-01272-1. Price US$59.95,
638 pp. The book includes the complete text of the ISO JPEG standards (DIS 10918-1
and draft DIS 10918-2).
Although this is by far the 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 DCT technology.
If you think that you know about DCT-based JPEG after 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 for all the mistaken developments
taking place in the image coding domain.
The original JPEG standard is divided into two parts, Part 1 being the actual
specification, while Part 2 covers compliance testing methods. Part 1 is titled "Digital
Compression and Coding of Continuous-tone Still Images, Part 1: Requirements and
guidelines" and has document numbers ISO/IEC IS 10918-1, ITU-T T.81. Part 2 is
titled "Digital Compression and Coding of Continuous-tone Still Images, Part 2:
Compliance testing" and has document numbers ISO/IEC IS 10918-2, ITU-T T.83.
The JPEG standard does not specify all details of an interchangeable file format. For the
omitted details we follow the "JFIF" conventions, revision 1.02. A copy of the JFIF
spec is available from:

A PostScript version of this document is available at http://www.ijg.org/files/jfif.ps.gz.
There is also a plain text version at http://www.ijg.org/files/jfif.txt.gz, but it is missing
the figures.
The TIFF 6.0 file format specification can be obtained by FTP from ftp://ftp.sgi.com/
graphics/tiff/TIFF6.ps.gz. The JPEG incorporation scheme found in the TIFF 6.0 spec
of 3-June-92 has a number of serious problems. IJG does not recommend use of the
TIFF 6.0 design (TIFF Compression tag 6). Instead, we recommend the JPEG design
proposed by TIFF Technical Note #2 (Compression tag 7). Copies of this Note can be
obtained from 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 IJG's own code
does not support TIFF/JPEG, the free libtiff library uses our library to implement TIFF/
JPEG per the Note.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Thank to Juergen Bruder of the Georg-Cantor-Organization at the Martin-Luther-
University Halle for providing me with a copy of the common DCT algorithm article,
only to find out that I had come to the same result in a more direct and comprehensible
way with a more generative approach.
Thank to Istvan Sebestyen and Joan L. Mitchell for inviting me to the ITU JPEG (Study
Group 16) meeting in Geneva, Switzerland.
Thank to Thomas Wiegand and Gary Sullivan for inviting me to the Joint Video Team
(MPEG & ITU) meeting in Geneva, Switzerland.
Thank to John Korejwa and Massimo Ballerini for inviting me to fruitful consultations
in Boston, MA and Milan, Italy.
Thank to Hendrik Elstner, Roland Fassauer, and Simone Zuck for corresponding
business development.
Thank to Nico Zschach and Dirk Stelling of the technical support team at the Digital
Images company in Halle for providing me with extra equipment for configuration
tests.
Thank to Richard F. Lyon (then of Foveon Inc.) for fruitful communication about JPEG
configuration in Sigma Photo Pro software.
Last but not least special thank to Thomas G. Lane for the original design and
development of this singular software package.

FILE FORMAT WARS
The ISO JPEG standards committee actually promotes different formats like JPEG-
2000 or JPEG-XR which are incompatible with original DCT-based JPEG and which
are based on faulty technologies. IJG therefore does not and will not support such
momentary mistakes (see REFERENCES). We have little or no sympathy for the
promotion of these formats. Indeed, one of the original reasons for developing this free
software was to help force convergence on common, interoperable format standards for
JPEG files. Don't use an incompatible file format! (In any case, our decoder will remain
capable of reading existing JPEG image files indefinitely.)
TO DO
v7 is basically just a necessary interim release, paving the way for a major breakthrough
in image coding technology with the next v8 package which is scheduled for release in
the year 2010.
Please send bug reports, offers of help, etc. to jpeg-info@jpegclub.org.
