Summary: JPEG : Still Image Data Compression Standard
Review: The only way to go! This is a well written book that is structured like a text book, but stays true to the standard. Excellent overview of FDCT theory and Entropy Coding.

Summary: The definitive JPEG book for programmers
Review: This book is a "must have" for anyone interested in understanding the JPEG standard. It has two distinct parts.
The second half is the JPEG standard itself. It contains all the technical details of how JPEG works, including pseudocode flow charts, and test data to verify JPEG compliance.
The first half is the author's (less formal) understanding of the JPEG standard, where he explains the details of the standard which might be unclear to the novice.
Everything from the aspects of the human visual system, to the mathematics of Discrete Cosine Transformation, to entropy coding, to JPEG file organization is explained.
I knew nothing about image processing before studying this book. After studying this book (for a long time) I was able to write a complete application and have total control over reading and writing JPG files.

Summary: The number one JPEG compression book
Review: This is a very advanced book with many technical details. A must have for everyone working in the field of image compression. For the beginner there is some text in the first part of the book, but I think that this book is primary for people working with actual implementations.
