Information technology — Digital compression and coding of continuous-tone still images — Part 7: Reference software
This Specification provides reference software for the coding technology specified in Recommendation ITU-T T.81 | ISO/IEC 10918-1. While the reference implementations also provide an encoder, conformance testing of their encoding process is beyond the scope of this Specification.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are
members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical
committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity.
ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the
work.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of document should be noted.
ISO and IEC draw attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the
use of (a) patent(s). ISO and IEC take no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any
claimed patent rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO and IEC had
not received notice of (a) patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However,
implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained
from the patent database available at www.iso.org/patents and https://patents.iec.ch. ISO and IEC shall
not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

This document was prepared by ITU-T (as ITU-T Rec T.873) and drafted in accordance with its editorial
rules, in collaboration with Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology,
Subcommittee SC 29, Coding of audio, picture, multimedia and hypermedia information.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO/IEC 10918-7:2021), which has been
technically revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— update of reference software A to version 1.65 and reference software B to version 2.1.3.
A list of all parts in the ISO/IEC 10918 series can be found on the ISO and IEC websites.

Summary
The ISO/IEC 10918-x series establishes guidelines and specifies requirements for coding of continuous-tone still images.
Rec. ITU-T T.81 | ISO/IEC 10918-1, also known under the name JPEG, specifies the codestream format and the
decoding process. It is designed primarily for compression of continuous-tone photographic content.
Rec. ITU-T T.873 | ISO/IEC 10918-7 provides reference software for Rec. ITU-T T.81 | ISO/IEC 10918-1. The software
has been successfully compiled and tested on Linux and Windows operating systems and conf
