1. Joint Photographic Experts Group body, file format, standard> JPEG The original name of the committee that designed the standard image compression algorithm. JPEG is designed for compressing either full-colour or grey-scale digital images of "natural", real-world scenes. It does not work so well on non-realistic images, such as cartoons or line drawings. JPEG does not handle compression of black-and-white 1 bit-per-pixel images or moving pictures. Standards for compressing those types of images are being worked on by other committees, named JBIG and MPEG. Home http://www. jpeg. org/. Filename extension: . jpg, . jpeg. See also PJPEG.
