We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "JPEG",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Camera sensors provide low-light boost from
OmniVision, which we summarised at the time by saying "TrueFocus technology optimises optics, sensors and image processing to maximise camera performance and minimise system size and cost".
The same day,
we featured the news release Application processor boosts mobile multimedia from
Vimicro International Corporation: "Vinno-III-Win has a QVGA touch screen, a 3Mpixel camera, MPEG4/H.263 video, WMA and MP3 playback and recording, Bluetooth and an FM radio".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Ambarella
concerning its Ambarella A390
- take a look at SoC captures video and still images
which says: "Ambarella's A390 stores still images in either raw or compressed formats, implementing the JPEG standard at a rate of one picture per second without interrupting full HD-video recording".
Take a look also at the news release from Imagination Technologies, Video decoder supports all major HD and SD formats,
as well as Video capture device suits Windows and Linux from Sensoray,
and Handset camera takes antishake onboard from OmniVision.
