The images historically used for compression research (lena, barbra, pepper etc...) have outlived their useful life and its about time they become a part of history only. They are too small, come from data sources too old and are available in only 8-bit precision.
These high-resolution high-precision images have been carefully selected to aid in image compression research and algorithm evaluation. These are photographic images chosen to come from a wide variety of sources and each one picked to stress different aspects of algorithms. Images are available in 8-bit, 16-bit and 16-bit linear variations, RGB and gray.

RGB 8 bit (330 MB), RGB 16 bit (787 MB), RGB 16 bit linear (626 MB)
Gray 8 bit (103 MB), Gray 16 bit (285 MB), Gray 16 bit linear (207 MB)
You are encouraged to use these images for image compression research and algorithm evaluation. Suggestions for further improvements are always welcome.
Preview: click on the images to enlarge, you can enlarge multiple images at same time. You can also checkout results of various lossless and lossy compression algorithms on these images.
