| 4 The New Image Compression Test Set - Jan 2008 |

| 7 The images historically used for compression research (lena, barbra, pepper etc.
..) have outlived their useful life and its about time they become a part of his
tory only. They are too small, come from data sources too old and are available
in only 8-bit precision. |
| 8 |
| 9 These images have been carefully selected to aid in image compression algorithm
research and evaluation. These are photographic images chosen to come from a wid
e variety of sources and each one picked to stress different aspects of algorith
ms. Images are available in 8-bit, 16-bit and 16-bit linear variations, RGB and
gray. |
