Abstract
The JBIG coding standard defines a method for the lossless compression of bi-level images. One advantage of the JBIG standard is that it can be parameterized for progressive coding, which has application in image databases that must serve displays of differing resolution and for image browsing. A second advantage it has over G3/G4 Facsimile is superior compression, especially on bi-level images rendered by halftoning. The summary of each technique adopted in JBIG Standard and total compression efficiency is introduced in this paper.
