Abstract
This article describes the software implementation of an emerging standard for the lossy compression of continuous-tone still images. This software program can be used to compress planetary images and other two-dimensional instrument data. It provides a high-compression image-coding capability that preserves image fidelity at compression rates competitive or superior to most known techniques. This software implementation confirms the usefulness of such data compression and allows its performance to be compared with other schemes used in deep-space missions and for database storage.
