Paper Abstract

A set of still image compression algorithms developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) is becoming an international standard. Here we apply a methodology to study the compression obtained by each step of the three-step baseline sequential algorithm. We present results, observations, and analysis on simulating the JPEG sequential baseline system. The primary compression gain comes from run-length coding of zero coefficients. Based on our simulator, a comparison of Huffman coding, WNC arithmetic coding, and the LZW algorithm is also included.
