Joint Photographic Experts Group
The Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) is the joint committee between ISO/IEC JTC 1 and ITU-T (formerly CCITT) that created and maintains 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.[1][2][3] 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[4] and previously also with Study Group 8 – SG8[5][6]) is responsible for the JPEG and JBIG standards.[7] The scope of the organization includes the work of both the Joint Photographic Experts Group and Joint Bi-level Image Experts Group.[1][8]
In April 1983, ISO started to work to add photo quality graphics to 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.[9][10] They were historically targeted on image communication. In 1986, it was decided to create the Joint (CCITT/ISO) Photographic Expert Group.[11] The JPEG committee was created in 1986.[12] In 1988, it was decided to create the Joint (CCITT/ISO) Bi-level Image Group (JBIG).[11] The group typically meets three times annually in North America, Asia and Europe. The group often meets jointly with the JBIG committee.[10][13] The current JPEG president is Touradj Ebrahimi,[14][15] who was previously chairman of the JPEG 2000 development group[16] and led the MPEG-4 standards committee.[17]
Joint Bi-level Image experts Group
The Joint Bi-level Image experts Group (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 images.[1] They created the JBIG and JBIG2 standard.[7][13]
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.[2][18]

JPEG XL
In 2017, JTC1/SC29/WG1 issued a Call for proposals for JPEG XL – the next generation image coding standard.[21] The standard is expected to follow still image compression performance shown by HEVC HM, Daala and WebP. The core requirements include better compression efficiency, 8–10 bits per component, RGB/YCbCr/ICtCp color encoding, animated images, alpha channel coding, Rec.709 color space and gamma, Rec.2100 wide color gamut and high dynamic range, and high-quality compression of synthetic images, such as bitmap fonts and gradients. Additional requirements include higher bit depths (12–16 bit integer and floating point), different color spaces (Rec. 709, Rec.2020/2100, and LogC), embedded preview images, lossless alpha channel encoding, image region coding, and low-complexity encoding. Any patented technologies would be licensed on a royalty-free basis.[22] The current target publication date is October 2019.[23] Reference software implementation of JPEG XL will losslessly transcode JPEG images while reducing their size by 20%,[24] and will also include lightweight lossless conversion to JPEG for backward compatibility.
