The up to date widespread image standard on the web is jpg but a new format, the BPG comes to replace it.
According to the first estimates BPG is a standard codificationς εικόνας το οποίο θα προσφέρει την ποιότητα του JPEG, με την μισή ανάγκη σε όγκο. Το πρότυπο ΒPG σημαίνει Better Portable Graphics, δηλαδή καλύτερα φορητά γραφικά. Αυτό σημαίνει ότι παρόλο που θα γίνεται compression of images, this does not mean that the quality will be reduced, as is the case with highly compressed JPEG files.
One of the advantages of the BPG standard is that there can be a shortage backgroundy, as happens in PNG format files, while in order to be able to appear on a website, they require the integration of a 55 KB decoder in order to be able to be viewed correctly.
It is difficult to say whether the BPG standard will succeed in replacing the widely used JPEG, especially considering that it does a fine job of work of satisfying the needs that exist in online image viewing. Nevertheless, it remains an interesting proposition that we may encounter more and more often in the future, since the demands for data compression and maintaining as good a quality as possible will be increased.
