This Recommendation | International Standard provides a reference software for Rec. ITU-T T.832 | ISO/IEC 29199-2 (Information technology – JPEG XR image coding system – Image coding specification) as an electronic attachment. The reference software is an integral part of this Recommendation | International Standard.

The purpose of this Recommendation | International Standard is to provide the following.

– Reference decoder software capable of decoding codestreams (or files) that conform to Rec. ITU-T T.832 | ISO/IEC 29199-2 in a manner that conforms to the decoding process specified in Rec. ITU-T T.832 | ISO/IEC 29199-2.

– Sample encoder software capable of producing codestreams (or files) that conform to Rec. ITU-T T.832 | ISO/IEC 29199-2.

The use of this reference software is not required for making an implementation of an encoder or decoder in conformance to Rec. ITU-T T.832 | ISO/IEC 29199-2, and conforming implementations of Rec. ITU-T T.832 | ISO/IEC 29199-2 are not expected to follow the algorithms or programming techniques used therein. Conformance requirements established in Rec. ITU-T T.832 | ISO/IEC 29199-2 take precedence over the behaviour of the reference software.
