If you want to understand how the JPEG code works, we suggest reading one or more of the REFERENCES, then looking at the documentation files (in roughly the order
listed) before diving into the code.
OVERVIEW
This package contains C software to implement JPEG image compression and decompression. JPEG (pronounced "jay-peg") is a standardized compression method for
full-color and gray-scale images. JPEG is intended for compressing real-world scenes; line drawings, cartoons and other non-realistic images are not its strong suit. JPEG
is lossy, meaning that the output image is not exactly identical to the input image. Hence you must not use JPEG if you have to have identical output bits. However, on
typical photographic images, very good compression levels can be obtained with no visible change, and remarkably high compression levels are possible if you can tolerate
a low-quality image. For more details, see the references, or just experiment with various compression settings.
This software implements JPEG baseline, extended-sequential, and progressive compression processes. Provision is made for supporting all variants of these processes,
although some uncommon parameter settings aren't implemented yet. For legal reasons, we are not distributing code for the arithmetic-coding variants of JPEG; see
LEGAL ISSUES. We have made no provision for supporting the hierarchical or lossless processes defined in the standard.
We provide a set of library routines for reading and writing JPEG image files, plus two sample applications "cjpeg" and "djpeg", which use the library to perform conversion
between JPEG and some other popular image file formats. The library is intended to be reused in other applications.
