Abstract: Digital image and video compression is an enabling technology without which live television on the Internet, ATM, or the Information Superhighway will remain too expensive. The JPEG, MPEG standards provide lossy compression in which the image quality declines with the compression ratio. A new information theory now provides lossless compression based on the image content or “novelty” and “movement” within the images. The new methods are especially suitable for packet networks.
