2. Image compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_compression

   Image compression is a type of data compression applied to digital images, to reduce their cost for storage or transmission. Algorithms may take advantage of visual perception and the statistical properties of image data to provide superior results compared with generic data compression methods which are used for other digital data.

3. Seam carving - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seam_carving

   Original image to be made narrower Scaling is undesirable because the castle is distorted. Cropping is undesirable because part of the castle is removed. Seam carving. Seam carving (or liquid rescaling) is an algorithm for content-aware image resizing, developed by Shai Avidan, of Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories (MERL), and Ariel Shamir, of the Interdisciplinary Center and MERL.

4. Comparison gallery of image scaling algorithms - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_gallery_of...

   One of the simpler ways of increasing the size, replacing every pixel with a number of pixels of the same color. The resulting image is larger than the original, and preserves all the original detail, but has (possibly undesirable) jaggedness. The diagonal lines of the "W", for example, now show the "stairway" shape characteristic of nearest ...

5. JPEG compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG

   Continuously varied JPEG compression (between Q=100 and Q=1) for an abdominal CT scan. JPEG (/ ˈ dʒ eɪ p ɛ ɡ / JAY-peg, short for Joint Photographic Experts Group and sometimes retroactively referred to as JPEG 1) [2] [3] is a commonly used method of lossy compression for digital images, particularly for those images produced by digital photography.

6. Color Cell Compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_Cell_Compression

   The primary difference between Block Truncation Coding and Color Cell Compression is that the former was designed to compress grayscale images and the latter was designed to compress color images. Also, Block Truncation Coding requires that the standard deviation of the colors of pixels in a block be computed in order to compress an image ...

7. Data compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_compression

   Composite image showing JPG and PNG image compression. Left side of the image is from a JPEG image, showing lossy artefacts; the right side is from a PNG image. In the late 1980s, digital images became more common, and standards for lossless image compression emerged. In the early 1990s, lossy compression methods began to be widely used. [14]

8. Quantization (image processing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantization_(image...

   This technique is commonly used for simplifying images, reducing storage requirements, and facilitating processing operations. In grayscale quantization, an image with N intensity levels is converted into an image with a reduced number of levels, typically L levels, where L<N. The process involves mapping each pixel's original intensity value ...

9. Lossy compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossy_compression

   Composite image showing JPG and PNG image compression. Left side of the image is from a low-quality JPEG image, showing lossy artefacts; the right side is from a PNG image. In information technology, lossy compression or irreversible compression is the class of data compression methods that uses inexact approximations and partial data ...
