Joint Photographic Experts Group
Encyclopedia
The Joint Photographic Experts Group is the joint committee between ISO/IEC JTC1
and ITU-T
(formerly CCITT) that created the JPEG
, JPEG 2000
, and JPEG XR standards. It is one of two sub-groups of ISO
/IEC
Joint Technical Committee 1, Subcommittee 29, Working Group 1 (ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29/WG 1) - titled as Coding of still pictures. In the ITU-T
, its work falls in the domain of the ITU-T Visual Coding Experts Group (VCEG)
. ISO/IEC JTC1 SC29 Working Group 1 (working together with ITU-T Study Group 16 - SG16 and previously also with Study Group 8 - SG8) is responsible for the JPEG and JBIG standards. The scope of the organization includes the work of both the Joint Photographic Experts Group and Joint Bi-level Image Experts Group
.
In April 1983, ISO started to work to add photo quality graphics to the text terminals. In the mid 1980s, both CCITT (now ITU-T) and ISO had standardization groups for image coding: CCITT Study Group VIII (SG8) - Telematic Services and ISO TC97 SC2 WG8 - Coding of Audio and Picture Information. They were historically targeted on image communication. In 1986 it was decided to create the Joint (CCITT/ISO) Photographic Expert Group. The JPEG committee was created in 1986. In 1988 it was decided to create the Joint (CCITT/ISO) Bi-level Image Group (JBIG). The group typically meets three times annually in North America, Asia and Europe. The group often meets jointly with the JBIG committee.
(JBIG) is the second sub-group of the same working group
(ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29/WG 1) as the Joint Photographic Experts Group, which focuses on binary image

Standards published and under development
The JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) as a sub-group of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29/WG 1 - Coding of Still Pictures (working as a joint team with ITU-T SG 16) have developed various standards, which have been published by ITU-T and/or ISO/IEC. The standards developed by the JPEG and JBIG sub-groups are referred to as a joint development of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29/WG 1 and ITU-T SG 16. The JPEG standards consist of different Parts. Each part covers a certain aspect of the whole specification. Some of the published JPEG standards were revised by later amendments and/or new editions. Standards developed and under development by JPEG are shown in the table below.| Common Name | Part | First public release date (First edition) | ISO/IEC Number | ITU Number | Formal Title |
