Joint Bi-level Image Experts Group

The Joint Bi-level Image Experts Group (JBIG) is a group of experts nominated by national standards bodies and major companies to work to produce standards for bi-level image coding. The "joint" refers to its status as a committee working on both ISO and ITU-T 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), whose official title is Coding of still pictures.[1][2][3]

The Joint Bi-level Image Experts Group created the JBIG and JBIG2 standards.[4] The group often meets jointly with the JPEG committee, which typically meets three times annually.[5]

ISO/IEC JTC1 SC29 Working Group 1 (working together with ITU-T Study Group 16 – VCEG[6] and previously also with Study Group 8 – SG8[7][8][9]) is responsible for both JPEG and JBIG standards.<ref">JPEG. "Joint Photographic Experts Group, JBIG Homepage". Retrieved 2009-11-08. </ref> It includes two sub-groups: the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG SG) and the Joint Bi-level Image experts Group (JBIG SG).[4][1]

In the mid-1980s, both CCITT (now ITU-T) and ISO had standardization groups for image coding: CCITT Study Group (SG) VIII (Telematic Services) and ISO TC97 SC2 WG8 (Coding of Audio and Picture Information).[10] They were historically targeted on image communication. In 1986, it was decided to create the Joint (CCITT/ISO) Photographic Expert Group. In 1988, it was decided to create the Joint (CCITT/ISO) Bi-level Image Group – JBIG.[11][10]

Published Standards

JBIG have developed following standards, which were published by ISO/IEC and/or ITU-T:

Joint Photographic Experts Group - developed standards[2][12]
Common Name Part First public release date (First edition) ISO/IEC Number ITU Number Formal Title
JBIG1 1993 ISO/IEC 11544 ITU-T Recommendations T.82, T.85 Information technology – Coded representation of picture and audio information – Progressive bi-level image compression
JBIG2 2000 ISO/IEC 14492 ITU-T Recommendations T.88, T.89 Information technology – Lossy/lossless coding of bi-level images

Note: The published JBIG2 standard was revised by later amendments.
