JPEG 2000 Code Stream
The raw code stream of a JPEG 2000 image.
J2C represents the raw code stream of a JPEG 2000 image, stripped of the file format wrapper (JP2). It contains the compressed image data but lacks the metadata and structural information found in a full JP2 file.
A J2C file is essentially the 'payload' of a JPEG 2000 file. It consists of a sequence of markers and compressed data segments. Because it lacks a container, it relies on the decoder to know the image parameters or infer them from the stream markers.
Defined in Part 1 of the JPEG 2000 standard (ISO/IEC 15444-1) alongside the JP2 file format.
Group 3 FAX
The raw compressed data stream used by classic fax machines.
When we talk about the 'FAX' file format, we typically refer to a raw data stream compressed using the CCITT Group 3 (G3) or Group 4 (G4) algorithms. These are specialized compression methods designed for bi-level (black and white) images of text documents. In most modern contexts, you won't see a standalone `.fax` or `.g3` file. Instead, this compression data is wrapped inside a container like TIFF or PDF. A `.fax` file is essentially a headerless chunk of this compressed data, which makes it difficult for modern software to open without knowing the specific dimensions (width/height) beforehand.
Group 3 compression is based on Huffman coding and Run-Length Encoding (RLE). It scans a line of pixels and records the lengths of alternating runs of black and white pixels. Because most documents are largely white space, this results in significant compression. Group 4 is an improvement that uses 2D compression (referencing the previous line to predict the next), offering better ratios but requiring an error-free transmission channel (like a digital network), unlike G3 which had to survive noisy phone lines.
Standardized by the CCITT (Consultative Committee for International Telephony and Telegraphy), now ITU-T, in 1980 (Group 3) and 1984 (Group 4). These standards enabled the global fax boom of the 80s and 90s.
