NITF has adopted the ISO/IEC 15444-1 standard for imagery compression, JPEG 2000.

Research topics span from theoretical computer science, such as Formal languages, Formal methods, or more mathematically-oriented topics such as Information theory, optimization, Complex system... to application-driven topics like Bioinformatics, image and video compression, Handwriting recognition, Computer graphics, Medical imaging, Content-based image retrieval...
The DSU contained a 200 megabyte hard disk drive that could store up to 156 images without compression, or up to 600 images using a JPEG compatible compression board that was offered later as an optional extra.
The project had begun years before JPEG image compression and before truecolour computer video cards had become widely available.
The founders later talked to Irving Reed at the University of Southern California, who had an idea for an improved image compression algoritihm, and started implementing such an algorithm; this became the ART image file format.
