The number of daily generated digital images grows at a staggering rate. In addition, the way these images are captured, stored, shared, rendered and used is changing. This leads to multiple new challenges related to search, metadata management, privacy and security, storage, and transportation. Moreover, new emerging imaging modalities and the demand for more immersive user experiences push forward the need for enhanced image formats. The Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) is responsible to provide standardized solutions to deal with these challenges. Over the last 30 years, this resulted in several successful and widely adopted standards such as JPEG and JPEG 2000, and more recently JPSearch and JPEG XT. This paper gives a brief introduction to these standards that are relevant to digitization and archiving applications. In addition, some ongoing standardization efforts are introduced.
