On the Limits of Perceptually Optimized JPEG

Touradj Ebrahimi, Francesca De Simone, Lutz Goldmann

The study presented in this paper aims at quantifying the empirical limits of JPEG optimization, when the compressed stream is standard compliant and only the quantization tables are optimized. Image-dependent quantization tables, which minimize the bitrat ...
