The Joint Bi-level Image Experts Group (JBIG) was a group of experts nominated by national standards bodies and major companies to work to produce standards for bi-level image coding. The "joint" refers to its status as a committee working on both ISO and ITU-T standards. It was one of two sub-groups of ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1, Subcommittee 29, Working Group 1 (ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29/WG 1), whose official title is Coding of still pictures.cite-ref-sc29-wg1-1-0[1]cite-ref-jpeg-sc29-2-0[2]cite-ref-3[3]

The Joint Bi-level Image Experts Group created the JBIG and JBIG2 standards.cite-ref-jpeg-jbig-4-0[4] The group often meets jointly with the JPEG committee, which typically meets three times annually.cite-ref-jpeg-work-5-0[5]

ISO/IEC JTC1 SC29 Working Group 1 (working together with ITU-T Study Group 16 – VCEGcite-ref-6[6] and previously also with Study Group 8 – SG8cite-ref-7[7]cite-ref-8[8]cite-ref-9[9]) is responsible for both JPEG and JBIG standards.cite-ref-10[10] It included two sub-groups: the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG SG) and the Joint Bi-level Image experts Group (JBIG SG).cite-ref-jpeg-jbig-4-1[4]cite-ref-sc29-wg1-1-1[1] After completing the 2019 edition of the JBIG2 standard, the JBIG subgroup was closed and its maintenance responsibilities were assigned to the general JPEG group.

In the mid-1980s, both CCITT (now ITU-T) and ISO had standardization groups for image coding: CCITT Study Group (SG) VIII (Telematic Services) and ISO TC97 SC2 WG8 (Coding of Audio and Picture Information).cite-ref-chiariglione-jpeg-history-11-0[11] They were historically targeted on image communication. In 1986, it was decided to create the Joint (CCITT/ISO) Photographic Expert Group. In 1988, it was decided to create the Joint (CCITT/ISO) Bi-level Image Group – JBIG.cite-ref-12[12]cite-ref-chiariglione-jpeg-history-11-1[11]

Published standards

JBIG have developed following standards, which were published by ISO/IEC and/or ITU-T:

| Common Name | Part | First public release date (First edition) | ISO/IEC Number | ITU Number | Formal Title |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| JBIG1 | | 1993 | ISO/IEC 11544 | ITU-T Recommendations T.82 , T.85 | Information technology – Coded representation of picture and audio information – Progressive bi-level image compression |
| JBIG2 | | 2001 | ISO/IEC 14492 | ITU-T Recommendations T.88 , T.89 | Information technology – Lossy/lossless coding of bi-level images |

Note: The published JBIG2 standard was revised by three later amendments, which were consolidated into the current (2019) edition.
