In our daily lives, we have contact with .jpeg much as
we imagine, some people are not interested and others notice it, but what is
this format? Well, to understand it better, we can define it as a compression
method, which is often regarded as a file format. It is also the format most
common image used by digital cameras and other devices for image capture, along
with JPG / JFIF, which is also another format for storing and transmitting
photographic images on the World Wide Web.
Many people do not know the origin of this format and
what it actually means, well, as such its origin comes from a committee that
was built from the beginning by the merger of several groups in an attempt to
share and develop their expertise in digital images. The original JPEG group
was organized in 1986 and long ago the ISO had started its investigations about
digital images. As is the case, this committee was called Joint Photographic
Experts Group who managed to develop a standard compression and encoding files
and still pictures, we know today as JPEG.
From the moment that appeared this format is one of
the most used worldwide together with jpg, which certainly differ from their
origins (JPEG = Mac) (JPG = PC or Windows), and sold to large companies as
Microsoft, Mac, among others. Currently this is still the case, as found on
their website https://jpeg.org we might look at the work and standards carried
together with the explanation of how to participate, it means be part of them,
there they offer multiple countries, the ability to work with their decoding
them, editing and transforming JPEG files.
There
is a little explanation about How JPEG works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gPHZEXoMKc 
This
format was extended rapidly and today to generate some
"controversial" or, debates, as his war with formats like RAW / NEF
on the use of certain applications and programs which defend these other
formats by the so called quality that is increasingly has been improving in
JPEG. In the meantime users’ claim that the format is not compatible with any
edits made by them, since according to them, it does not have sufficient
capacity to be fully effective these changes.
Today with the wide range of telecommunications, the
JPEG format is part of the multi-media, in this case through images, these are
transmitted by all kinds of pages, such as Google and many of the social
networks like Facebook or Twitter, for which people share these images
digitized very commonly in JPEG
format, this can be found at the time to download an image, where according to whether
the device will give us the option to save as JPEG or JPG, this is not a kind
of work that realize with the organization, rather it is a type of interaction
given by the vast number of users on the web.
This committee also has an area of ISO members, which
have a standard ITU-T Rec T. 81. | ISO / IEC 10918-1 also known as the JPEG
standard. t is considered to be one of the most successful media standards
around. Every day billions of pictures captured by digital cameras and mobile
phones are represented in this format. The JPEG specifications was published in
1992, the result of a joint initiative of the then ITU CCITT SG 8 and ISO/TC97/SC2/WG8
groups.
ITU-T and ISO/IEC have sustained a continued effort in
the JPEG standard and have maintained the specification according to market
needs. At its 57th meeting, JPEG has advanced ISO/IEC 10918-6 Application to
printing systems to International Standard status. This new part to the
original JPEG suite of standards addresses specific requirements of the
printing industry and specifies a subset of features and application tools to
aid in the interchange of images encoded according to the JPEG image coding
standard (Rec. ITU-T T.81 | ISO/IEC 10918-1) for printing. Currently, JPEG
explores possibilities extending its most successful standard for requirements
of the 21st century and to enable functionalities such as lossless or
high-dynamic range compression in a way that is backwards compatible to
existing implementations.
Today the organization JPEG works to improve the
privacy and security of their customers (member companies), is also concerned
with improving the coding system lighter, less heavy images and even manages a
system of Heating installations online to their standards, It is offering the
public to evaluate its standards in the images of their experiments. In other
words working to improve their market.
