Comparison of Lossless Image Formats
This addresses the need for efficient lossless image compression for users in digital media and storage, but it is incremental as it compares existing formats without introducing new methods.
The paper tackled the problem of identifying the most efficient lossless image compression format, finding that FLIF is currently the most efficient, despite its development being discontinued in favor of JPEG XL.
In recent years, a bag with image and video compression formats has been torn. However, most of them are focused on lossy compression and only marginally support the lossless mode. In this paper, I will focus on lossless formats and the critical question: "Which one is the most efficient?" It turned out that FLIF is currently the most efficient format for lossless image compression. This finding is in contrast to that FLIF developers stopped its development in favor of JPEG XL.
