Definition: "JPEG8b," a term in information theory, refers to a type of digital data compression format that efficiently compresses images with minimal loss of quality without sacrificing image resolution or color fidelity. The "8b" indicates a very low level of detail, meaning images are compressed at the highest possible levels of detail, typically 24 bits per pixel. JPEG is widely used for transmitting high-quality media such as video and audio, but it's also commonly used in digital cameras, web browsing, and other applications where image compression is necessary. The "jpeg8b" term indicates that the compression level of 8 bits per color channel has been set to 24 bits per pixel, which translates into a compression ratio of approximately 1:200. This means that while JPEG can be compressed at this level, it's not possible to achieve full image quality with less detail in color channels. However, the term "jpeg8b" is often used as a comparison to other compression formats like JPEG64 or JPECS which provide slightly higher compression ratios.
