ISO/IEC 10918-1 : 1993(E)
For progressive processes, a scan contains a partial encoding of all data units from one or more image components.
Components shall not be interleaved in progressive mode, except for the DC coefficients in the first scan for each
component of a progressive frame.

Summary of coding processes
Table 1 provides a summary of the essential characteristics of the various coding processes specified in this Specification.
The full specification of these processes is contained in Annexes F, G, H, and J.
