+A set of image FileFormat~s
well suited for natural images. Standard [JPEG] uses lossy compression (Discrete Cosine Transform and quantisation)
to significantly reduce file size while maintaining an acceptable image quality. JBIG
is a specialization of
[JPEG
] for bi-level images (ie black
and white). JPEG2000 is a newer, better format using wavelet compression
-- which is [Patent
] encumbered, so you're unlikely to see it implemented in OpenSource software
