The IBM JBIG-ABIC Verification Suite is a newly designed verification suite
that contains more than 5000 correctly encoded test images. Previously exi
sting verification images in total and consolidated in an ad hoc suite test
ed only a small fraction of the algorithm and were inadequate. The IBM JBIG
-ABIC Verification Suite provides compatibility testing reference data for
the ITU-T/ISO JBIG sequential mode and IBM ABIC image compression standards
. In this paper, the test images are described and related to the JBIG and
ABIC compression standards and options. The verification suite was used to
debug and verify the algorithms in the IBM JBIG-ABIC core that is integrate
d into the Xionics XipChip imaging microcontrollers.
