Re: 20 Years of JPEG Celebrated With Software Launch

ITU-T together with the Independent Joint Photographic Expert Group
(IJG) is celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the formation of
the CCITT/ITU-T and ISO Joint Photographic Expert Group (JPEG) with
the release of an alpha version of software for a new more efficient
compression scheme. The new ITU extension to JPEG known as ITU-T
Recommendation T.851 means that compression is increased such that
images will take-up less space on people’s hard drives or digital
cameras.

The program available here <http://ftp3.itu.ch/jpeg1x/> allows users
to input image files for compression at a more efficient rate than
that currently offered. The group responsible for producing the open
source software is inviting people to test and contribute to the
development of the project.

Interesting! (I cant honestly say a 10% improvement is smashing, now can I?). The PDF however is not extremely clear. Are the various results at equal Q or equal PSNR?
