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.
When used, lossy compression is normally applied uniformly to a set of data, such as an image, resulting in a uniform level of compression artifacts. Alternatively, the data may consist of parts with different levels of compression artifacts. This difference may arise from the different parts having been repeatedly subjected to the same lossy ...
2 triangles, example to show how fractal compression works. Fractal compression is a lossy compression method for digital images, based on fractals.The method is best suited for textures and natural images, relying on the fact that parts of an image often resemble other parts of the same image. [1]
The DCT-II is an important image compression technique. It is used in image compression standards such as JPEG, and video compression standards such as H.26x, MJPEG, MPEG, DV, Theora and Daala. There, the two-dimensional DCT-II of blocks are computed and the results are quantized and entropy coded.
Original image, with good text edges and color grade Loss of edge clarity and tone "fuzziness" in heavy JPEG compression. A compression artifact (or artefact) is a noticeable distortion of media (including images, audio, and video) caused by the application of lossy compression.
JPEG compression can introduce ringing artifacts at sharp transitions, which are particularly visible in text. This is a due to loss of high frequency components, as in step response ringing. JPEG uses 8×8 blocks , on which the discrete cosine transform (DCT) is performed.
JPEG 2000 (JP2) is an image compression standard and coding system. It was developed from 1997 to 2000 by a Joint Photographic Experts Group committee chaired by Touradj Ebrahimi (later the JPEG president), [1] with the intention of superseding their original JPEG standard (created in 1992), which is based on a discrete cosine transform (DCT), with a newly designed, wavelet-based method.
