Study Notes
Image Compression Standards
- JPEG is an image compression standard developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group.
- It was formally accepted as an international standard in 1992.
- JPEG is a lossy compression method.
- It utilizes the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) for transform coding.
The JPEG Standard
- Images are functions of i and j (or x and y) in the spatial domain.
- The 2D DCT is a critical step in JPEG. It transforms the image from the spatial domain to the spatial frequency domain (indexed by u and v) resulting in the frequency response, represented as F(u, v).
Observations for JPEG Image Compression
- Useful image content changes relatively slowly within small areas (e.g., 8x8 blocks).
- Much of the information within an image is repeated (spatial redundancy).
- Humans are less sensitive to the loss of high spatial frequency components compared to lower frequency components.
- Visual acuity is significantly higher for grayscale (luminance) compared to color (chrominance).
JPEG Encoder
- Includes components like YIQ or YUV transform, sampling for color, DCT, quantization, zigzag ordering, run-length encoding, and entropy coding.
DCT on Image Blocks
- Images are divided into 8x8 blocks.
- The 2D DCT is applied to each block which produces DCT coefficients F(u,v) for each block.
Quantization
- F(u, v) represents a DCT coefficient.
- Q(u, v) is a quantization matrix entry used for calculating the quantized DCT coefficients.
- Quantization is the main source of loss in JPEG compression.
Quantization (continued)
- Q(u,v) values are larger towards the lower right corner, introducing more loss at higher spatial frequencies.
- Default Q(u, v) values are obtained from psychophysical studies to maximize compression ratio while minimizing perceptual loss.
- Tables 9.1 and 9.2 show the luminance and chrominance quantization tables, respectively.
9.1.1 Main Steps in JPEG Image Compression
- Transform RGB to YIQ or YUV and subsample color.
- Apply DCT on image blocks.
- Quantize the data.
- Perform zigzag ordering and run-length encoding.
- Use entropy coding.
9.1.2 Four Commonly Used JPEG Modes
- Sequential Mode: The default mode, encoding a grayscale or color image component in a left-to-right, top-to-bottom scan.
- Progressive Mode: Delivers lower quality images quickly, followed by successively higher quality passes. It encodes DCT components based on their importance (high spatial frequency, high spectral coefficients first) or progressively encoding data by significance (MSBs first).
- Hierarchical Mode: (Not described in detail).
- Lossless Mode: A less common mode which is less frequently used now (discussed and planned for replacement with JPEG-LS in Chapter 7).
9.1.3 A Glance at the JPEG Bitstream
- A JPEG bitstream structure is described, showing how start of image, frame, end of image are indicated, and the tables, header, scans, segments, and restarts segments are organized.
