IMPACT image and graphics coding standards
A study of graphics standards has been carried out by PIRA (UK) within the framework of the Community's programme for the establishment of an internal information services market (IMPACT). It is one of a number of activities undertaken in the context of IMPACT to promote the development of Open Information Interchange (OII) standards in Europe. The 92-page study provides an introduction to each of the main standards for image and graphic coding for still images and their application and use, plus a general statement of the factors to be taken into consideration when using graphics standards. Covered are the official standards from the International Standards Organization (ISO) and other bodies as well as the main "de facto" standards in widespread use in industry.
