-The term "near-lossless compression" refers to a lossy algorithm
-for which each decompressed image sample differs from the corresponding
-original image sample by not more than a pre-specified value, the
-(usually small) "loss."  Lossless compression corresponds to loss=0.
-Even though the term "continuous-tone image" refers in principle

+for compressing continuous-tone still images, both grayscale and color. JPEG has
+defined four mode of operations, summarized them as follows:
 (1) Sequential encoding: each image component is encoded in a single
     left-to-right, top-to-bottom scan;
 (2) Progressive encoding: the image is encoded in multiple scans for
-    applications in which transmission time is long, and the viewer
-    prefers to watch the image build up in multiple coarse-to-clear
-    passes;
-(3) Lossless encoding: the images is encoded to guarantee exact recovery
-    of every source image sample value (even though the result is low
-    compression compared to the lossy modes);
-(4) Hierarchical encoding: the image is encoded at multiple resolutions
-    so that lower-resolution versions may be accessed without first having
-    to decompress the image at its full resolution.

-selection value (PSV) selector which selects the best PSV among a
