BS ISO 9282-1:1988

What is ISO 9282-1 - Encoding principles for picture representation in a 7-bit or 8-bit environment about?

ISO 9282-1 defines:

• The coding principles to be used in interchanging pictures consisting of graphic images in a 7-bit or 8-bit environment
• The data structures to be used to represent the primitives describing a picture
• The general datatypes which can be used as operands within a primitive

ISO 9282-1 applies to the data streams containing data structured in accordance with picture coding methods defined in ISO 9281.

Note: ISO 9282-1 does not deal with the presentation semantics of pictures. These are defined in the related International Standards.

Who is ISO 9282-1 - Encoding principles for picture representation in a 7-bit or 8-bit environment for?

ISO 9282-1 on encoding principles for picture representation in a 7-bit or 8-bit environment is useful for:

• Information technology industry
• Graphics design industry
• Data structure engineers/ graphics design engineers
• Data handling companies
• Data encoding systems

Why should you use ISO 9282-1 - Encoding principles for picture representation in a 7-bit or 8-bit environment?

ISO 9282-1 is an International Standard that provides standard methods for picture coding in order to assist in coding system design and to prevent a proliferation of different unrelated coding techniques.

ISO 9282-1 provides a coding scheme for the representation of pictures that can be generated by the majority of computer graphics applications; based on a 7-bit structure, this coding scheme may be used in a 7-bit or 8-bit environment.
