ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC29/WG1 has been contributing to standardize still image coding methods, so-called JPEG and JBIG families for more than 10 years. Currently, the most exciting standardization project is JPEG2000, which will provide a high coding efficiency and many functions such as lossy to lossless progressive coding, Region Of Interest coding and so on. In this paper, an overview of still image coding standards and trends of related technologies are introduced, putting emphasis on the technologies adopted in JPEG2000.
