Guetzli is a new JPEG encoder that aims to produce visually indistinguishable images at a lower bit-rate than other common JPEG encoders. It optimizes both the JPEG global quantization tables and the DCT coefficient values in each JPEG…
We performed pairwise comparisons by human raters of JPEG images from MozJPEG, libjpeg-turbo and our new Jpegli encoder. When compressing images at a quality similar to libjpeg-turbo quality 95, the Jpegli images were 54% likely to be…
Perceptual judgment of image similarity by humans relies on rich internal representations ranging from low-level features to high-level concepts, scene properties and even cultural associations. However, existing methods and datasets…
An encryption scheme of JPEG images in the bitstream domain is proposed. The proposed scheme preserves the JPEG format even after encrypting the images, and the file size of encrypted images is the exact same as that of the original JPEG…
Learning-based image compression methods have recently emerged as promising alternatives to traditional codecs, offering improved rate-distortion performance and perceptual quality. JPEG AI represents the latest standardized framework in…
The comparison between two approaches, JPEG and Compressive Sensing, is done in the paper. The approaches are compared in terms of image compression. Comparison is done by measuring the image quality versus number of samples used for image…
Image loading represents a critical bottleneck in modern machine learning pipelines, particularly in computer vision tasks where JPEG remains the dominant format. This study presents a systematic performance analysis of nine popular Python…
The standard JPEG format is almost the optimum format in image compression. The compression ratio in JPEG sometimes reaches 30:1. The compression ratio of JPEG could be increased by embedding the Five Modulus Method (FMM) into the JPEG…
JPEG is arguably the most popular image coding format, achieving high compression ratios via lossy quantization that may create visual artifacts degradation. Numerous attempts to remove these artifacts were conceived over the years, and…
The profusion of online digital images presents new challenges for image indexing. Images have always been problematic to describe and catalogue due to lack of inherent textual data and ambiguity of meaning. An alternative to time-consuming…
JPEG remains one of the most widespread lossy image coding methods. However, the non-differentiable nature of JPEG restricts the application in deep learning pipelines. Several differentiable approximations of JPEG have recently been…
Image width is important for image understanding. We propose a novel method to estimate widths for JPEG images when their widths are not available. The key idea is that the distance between two decoded MCUs (Minimum Coded Unit) adjacent in…
Over the years, researchers have proposed various approaches to JPEG forgery detection and localization. In most cases, experimental evaluation was limited to JPEG quality levels that are multiples of 5 or 10. Each study used a different…
The widespread adoption of generative image models has highlighted the urgent need to detect artificial content, which is a crucial step in combating widespread manipulation and misinformation. Consequently, numerous detectors and…
Compared with raw images, the more common JPEG images are less useful for machine vision algorithms and professional photographers because JPEG-sRGB does not preserve a linear relation between pixel values and the light measured from the…
Traditional methods, such as JPEG, perform image compression by operating on structural information, such as pixel values or frequency content. These methods are effective to bitrates around one bit per pixel (bpp) and higher at standard…
JPEG AI is an emerging learning-based image coding standard developed by Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). The scope of the JPEG AI is the creation of a practical learning-based image coding standard offering a single-stream, compact…
JPEG XL is a practical approach focused on scalable web distribution and efficient compression of high-quality images. It provides various benefits compared to existing image formats: 60% size reduction at equivalent subjective quality;…
Evaluating the quality of automatically generated image descriptions is challenging, requiring metrics that capture various aspects such as grammaticality, coverage, correctness, and truthfulness. While human evaluation offers valuable…
Social media has created a global network where people can easily access and exchange vast information. This information gives rise to a variety of opinions, reflecting both positive and negative viewpoints. GIFs stand out as a multimedia…
