JPEG = Joint Photographic Expert Group Dr. István Sebestyén
(Ex-CCITT Special Rapporteur on NIC)
The legend begins - the JPEG story from the 1980s
We all know and love her...
Different Projects lead to JPEG The ISO SC2 WG8 project on picture coding identification The Videotex Photographic Mode project (CCITT, ISO,
ETSI) The CCITT „New Image Communication” (NIC) Project All were driven first by the same type of people, namely
primerily by telecommunication folks. Most IT folks joined only later.
The ISO SC2 WG8 project on picture coding identification At the beginning only identification and selection from/ to picture coding, but without still picture compression.
Identification of coding methods (1985) - SC2 WG8 N211
SC2 WG8 Schedule Planning (1985 October, Yasuda)
DPX3 – Photographic Image Coding (1985 October, WG8 N0213)
DPX3 – Photographic Image Coding (1985 October, WG8 N0213)
The Videotex Photographic Mode project (CCITT, ISO) Videotex = Viewdata = PRESTEL = Bildschirmtext = NAPLPS = CAPTAIN = Minitel etc... Great server-network-terminal-service technology from the end of 1970s = prior to the Web
Old Prestel- and new CEPT Videotex Standard (with TV remote controller)
New innovative terminals... (a Siemens product)... Black and white
The most advanced one... The intelligent Austrian Mupid (8-bit PC)
Sort of „Photographic Coding“ using DRCS with the CEPT Vtx standard
One of the first photographic images via Videotex – Mupid proprietary telesoftware (TU Graz, Prof. Maurer) in 1982 – about 4 minute to download...
Photo taken by an analogue Video-camera
Not good enough for practical use (Prestel)
3 Coding modi: -Color- & runlenght coding linewise (this picture) -Image Blocs & Huffman coding -Progressive image coding
Problems: -Low image compression (50%) -Slow image build up -Low quality -Limited color presentation (not cont. tone colors)

But also other compression techniques were presented in ISO Japanese techniques (incl. NTT) CCITT techniques Etc. Thus, selection and how to move forward in standardization
became an urgent issue by Summer of 1986.
•This was a new „Study Question” approved by the CCITT - VIIIth Plenary Assembly (Málaga-Torremolinos, 1984) • Had a very general formulation for the work 1985-1988 and nothing happened until 1986....so started to became sort of embarrassing •No one (including the Special Rapporteur Mr. Manfred Worlitzer from the Deutsche Bundespost) had clear idea what it should be... But he was very honest and pragmatic about it •Mr. Worlitzer was key expert in Videotex terminals (high priority, very busy with that), therefore the Bundespost asked early 1986 Siemens to give him some support in his work. Mr. Sebestyén was asigned by Siemens (Mr. Popp) to assist to Mr. Worlitzer. •Mr. Worlitzer said, if you have a good idea what the question should do, please let me know... So I started to study the topic... •Mr. Worlitzer left the Videotex- and the NIC group in Summer of 1987, and Mr. Sebestyén became the Special Rapporteur for NIC.
The CCITT „New Image Communication” (NIC) Project
Report from the Spring 1986 CCITT SGVIII meeting
Main contributions from KDD – 1985 Kyoto CCITT SGVIII meeting
Main contributions from KDD – 1985 Kyoto CCITT SGVIII meeting Contained important new concepts Hard copy / soft copy communication Progressive image build vs. Sequential image build up Quick look-up, and variable image quality (progressive
coding scheme) Lossy / Lossless compression Image data base applications Interactive, conferencing applications
Key KDD contributors at a JPEG meeting Y. Yamazaki (left), T. Endoh (right) in 1987
Basic contribution 1 from KDD – 1985 Kyoto CCITT SGVIII meeting
Here came the concept of „tool box” type of standard, Interworking, No spec. file format

The CCITT NIC requirements were in principle accepted

We did not know at that time what JPEG was and what the working rules for such joint group were (no CCITT / ISO policy existed on joint work)

And this was only the begining... It took a long way from there to get JPEG approved and published in 1992 (ITU-T) / 1993 (ISO/IEC JTC1)...

Thanks…. Questions?
