HEVC/HEIF and other JPEG variants are patent encumbered. No go for many.
Normal JPEG is solid and while not perfect especially in compression efficiency, will reign supreme for a good while to come simply because everyone supports it, just like mp3. WebP is simply not much of an improvement over JPEG. PIK while retaining good texture has annoying ringing artifacts at edges, which tend to be more noticeable to an average person. AV1/AVIF has the best chances of succeeding if the implementation does not get screwed up. It needs lossless mode, alpha channels, animation support etc. to replace JPG, PNG, GIF. If it can't be the format to rule them all, its adoption rate will slow by quite a bit, since many will likely ignore it if it's just another support burden(see webp, compression improvements alone does not make a good replacement). It helps if lots of companies stand behind it and implementation and design issues are properly ironed out, however the release should be a solid 1.0 implementation with everything included, not like webp (wtf is version 0.6.1 of a codec with a likely 20 year lifetime supposed to be???). |

JPEG's in reference to pictures is easier to say than AV1's or HEVC's. It needs to be great quality, efficient, fast, practical, and have a good name. Marketing also helps, proprietory formats have the support of the patent owners to spruik the virtues of the format.

Which image format will see a wide adoption?
https://caniuse.com/#feat=jpeg2000 https://caniuse.com/#feat=webp https://caniuse.com/#feat=heif https://caniuse.com/#feat=jpegxr None. Each browser has its own format and does not intend to use another. These are patents and profits from this. |

My vote goes for AV1 and/or JPEG XL.
Good thing that all open source projects share a lot of compression techniques between them. AV1 has Daala code, JPEG XL will have at least some of them from both and so on. Quote:
JPEG XR is a Microsoft thing, patented and supported only by them (Internet Explorer and Edge browser). |

Just guessing here but isn't jpeg xr royalty free / free to use ? Didn't read the commercial licensing terms in the GitHub repo.
They called it HDPhoto before and it became jpeg xr when it got standardized isn't it ? The format got my vote but since it existed for years and didn't see any adoption (well, I know of affinity photo, photomatix HDR and Capture 1) I don't think it will be 'the winner '. |

JPEG XR wasn't much better than JPEG at medium/high bitrates. Later WebP and mozjpeg were released. They had higher quality at those rates.

As much as I love hearing about new formats and the possibilities, I've given up hopes that industries will strive to reach the full potential of even existing formats.
GIF is a complete mess right now. GIF is still the most compatible (albeit, slowest) format, even though using video formats for HMTL5 is a lot better. The video section is even worse. That's not even including a lot of the forks for the open-source browsers that create their own projects. I think JPEG will be around forever. But, it would be nice if some sites even give the option for various formats (given that the new format is from their hi-res source file and just not a conversion from JPG to whatever).

But what you mean by wide adoption? because some times can be a lot of hiden adoption, this is clear with vorbis as is supported and used more than people think, this hiden use is mainly as a asset format and not as interchange format.

I believe Apple tried to resurrect that royalty-free baseline for H.264 when web video and VP8 started becoming a thing, but again they failed to convince all the relevant patent holders. If they even boldly stated that royalty-free baseline was non-negotiable for XL then I'd maybe assume they'd come up with some process to get there, but it was (in the doc I read) stated like a wishy-washy dream rather than a concrete goal. |

Once AI deep learning image compression is released for public use, all other compression schemes will fade away fairly quickly (both lossy and lossless)
(all compression === predicting the next bit of data so you don't have to store it. In the near future AI will do this prediction much better than Huffmann, DCT, wavelets etc) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hutter_Prize "The organizers believe that text compression and AI are equivalent problems." Deep Learning Image Compression https://www.google.com/search?q=deep...ge+compression (Actually, AI will be too slow for many purposes. There's still room for traditional compression schemes. For a while.) |

I agree. Artificial intelligence looks very promising.
Opus is one of the first formats to implement AI https://people.xiph.org/~jm/demo/rnnoise/ Upcoming 1.3 beta 2 will be much better for speech/music recognition and speech coding. Results are astonishing. Last edited by IgorC; 9th March 2018 at 02:45. |

Noise reduction takes a damaged or partial source and tries to reconstruct the original.
AI has the potential to become very, very good at this. Having a way to perfectly denoise means you can apply stronger lossy compression and still recover a good signal. (thanks IgorC for making me see this) |

Opus is a hybrid codec. It based on enhanced SILK speech codec and CELT music/general purpose codec. It can use SILK or CELT or Hybrid(SILK+CELT for different frequency ranges) for each audio frame We (humans) are smart enough to detect whether it's speech or music. How can You transmit that to program like codec? That's where RNN comes with its perfect speech/music classification. Current version of Opus (1.2) hasn't perfect speech/music detection. But that will change. |

JPEG XL is as dead as dead gets. JPEG XR is on life support, but still being pushed by Microsoft and a few other vendors, with a legally-binding patent-protection clause forever, which is as good as free in my book. I think XR still has a chance. JPEG XT, which is a layer on top of JPEG, will probably disappear into obscurity as everyone realizes it's encumbered and inefficient.
If I had money on a single format, it'd be HEIC, or its more general cousin HEIF. Not because of inherent technical advantages, although it is a particularly well-designed format, but mostly because Apple has adopted it and that heavily tilts in any format's favor. I hope AV1 gets here with a standardized format quickly, but I see the world standardizing on HEIC soon (or HEIF for those who don't want to pay the HEVC royalties) as a JPEG alternative on the path of least resistance. |

MediaInfo admittedly added images BPG to the software, but HEIF isn't interested. FFmpeg also. |
