This paper is a survey of several storage formats used for computer generated or sampled images, both for purposes of archival storage and transmission (transfer from one location or platform to another). Various methodologies for the compression of such images are presented and discussed, Image storage standards and some of the more common commercial image storage techniques are presented in terms of the underlying compression algorithms they are based upon and the general internal data structures and formats.
