Unification of lossless and lossy compression modes, robustness to bit-errors to allow image transmission over noisy channels and provision of regions of interests(ROIs) are only some of those that have been incorporated into the new standard.

• 它不仅仅在图像编码过程中保证良好的图像质量，还具有现代图像压缩所要求的新性能，如同时支持有损压缩和无损压缩两种模式、保证在图像传输过程中的容错性、支持感兴趣区域编码等。
