Image data is compressed via a codec, which removes information that is either redundant or largely imperceptible to reduce the bit-rate required to transmit the image to the target device.

Psychophysical methods exist to assess artefact perceptibility and subjective preference following compression. A current industry standard (ISO/IEC-29170-2 Annex B) specifies a two-alternative forced choice procedure to measure artefact visibility. In this protocol, two versions of the same image are presented side-by-side on a display. In one location an original (reference) and compressed image are temporally interleaved, while in the other location the original is presented repeatedly.
