Technical Assistance w/ JPEG Algorithm?

Aaditya Sood asks: "I'm working on a DSP ^[?] project and am currently hacking away at the JPEG ^[?] algorithim. However I can't find the technical specs for it even though I have IJG's pseudo-C code. I hail from India so net time is not cheap for me. Could someone please point me to some resources on the Web which pertain to JPEG information?"

TIFF

Try this:
http://partners.adobe.com /asn/developer/PDFS/TN/TIFF6.pdf [adobe.com]

This is the TIFF specification (very useful) but as TIFF supports JPEG compression the scheme is well explained. GIF compression is explained too. It is 385k. If bandwidth is really an issue, e-mail me and I can send you a .zip (which is still 269kb)

Check out wotsit.org

wotsit.org [wotsit.org] has info on lots of file formats, including JPEG.

Hey everybody, check out The MACE project [macehq.cx]!

Of course, JPEG isn't a file format but an encoding algorithm. There are currently two main file formats for distributing encoded JPEG data streams: JFIF and TIFF. Fortunately, wotsit.org contains both specs for the file formats and specs for the encoding algorithm. This message was brought to you courtesy of Pedants-R-Us (tm).

Where I say "GIF compression" please read "LZW compression".

Have you tried the JPEG FAQ?

The Wotsit File Format Collection

The The Wotsit File Format Collection [wotsit.org] has specs for almost any format you could want.
Using the search on there page I pulled up 6 documents that contain all the specs and other information on the JPEG.
