  • New Image Compression Artifact Measure Using Wavelets
    New image compression artifact measure using wavelets Yung-Kai Lai and C.-C. Jay Kuo Integrated Media Systems Center Department of Electrical Engineering-Systems University of Southern California Los Angeles, CA 90089-256 4 Jin Li Sharp Labs. of America 5750 NW Paci c Rim Blvd., Camas, WA 98607 ABSTRACT Traditional ob jective metrics for the quality measure of co ded images such as the mean squared error (MSE) and the p eak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) do not correlate with the sub jectivehuman visual exp erience well, since they do not takehuman p erception into account. Quanti cation of artifacts resulted from lossy image compression techniques is studied based on a human visual system (HVS) mo del and the time-space lo calization prop ertyofthe wavelet transform is exploited to simulate HVS in this research. As a result of our research, a new image quality measure by using the wavelet basis function is prop osed. This new metric works for a wide variety of compression artifacts. Exp erimental results are given to demonstrate that it is more consistent with human sub jective ranking. KEYWORDS: image quality assessment, compression artifact measure, visual delity criterion, human visual system (HVS), wavelets. 1 INTRODUCTION The ob jective of lossy image compression is to store image data eciently by reducing the redundancy of image content and discarding unimp ortant information while keeping the quality of the image acceptable. Thus, the tradeo of lossy image compression is the numb er of bits required to represent an image and the quality of the compressed image.

H.264/AVC is the most modern and bandwidth-efficient compression algorithm specified for video recording in the Digital Recording IRIG Standard 106-11, Chapter 10. This bandwidth efficiency is largely derived from the inter-frame compression component of the standard. Motion JPEG-2000 compression is often considered for cockpit display recording, due to the concern that details in the symbols and graphics suffer excessively from artifacts of inter-frame compression and that critical information might be lost. In this paper, we report on a quantitative comparison of H.264/AVC and Motion JPEG-2000 encoding for HD video telemetry. Actual encoder implementations in video recorder products are used for the comparison. INTRODUCTION The phenomenal advances in video compression over the last two decades have made it possible to compress the bit rate of a video stream of imagery acquired at 24-bits per pixel (8-bits for each of the red, green and blue components) with a rate of a fraction of a bit per pixel.

Total Variation (TV) regularization method, and obtain a texture component in which blocky noise and mosquito noise are decomposed. These artifacts are removed by using selective filters controlled by the edge information from the structure component and the motion vectors. Most discrete cosine transforms (DCT) based video coding suffers from blocking artifacts where boundaries of (8x8) DCT blocks become visible on decoded images. The blocking artifacts become more prominent as the bit rate is lowered. Due to processing and distortions in transmission, the final display of visual data may contain artifacts. A post-processing algorithm is proposed to reduce the blocking artifacts of MPEG decompressed images. The reconstructed images from MPEG compression produce noticeable image degradation near the block boundaries, in particular for highly compressed images, because each block is transformed and quantized independently. The goal is to improve the visual quality, so perceptual blur and ringing metrics are used in addition to PSNR evaluation and the value will be approx. 43%.The experimental results show much better performances for removing compression artifacts compared with the conventional method.

  • Image Compression Using Anti-Forensics Method
    IMAGE COMPRESSION USING ANTI-FORENSICS METHOD M.S.Sreelakshmi1 and D. Venkataraman1 1Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Coimbatore, India [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT A large number of image forensics methods are available which are capable of identifying image tampering. But these techniques are not capable of addressing the anti-forensics method which is able to hide the trace of image tampering. In this paper anti-forensics method for digital image compression has been proposed. This anti-forensics method is capable of removing the traces of image compression. Additionally, technique is also able to remove the traces of blocking artifact that are left by image compression algorithms that divide an image into segments during compression process. This method is targeted to remove the compression fingerprints of JPEG compression. Keywords Forensics, JPEG compression, anti-forensics, blocking artifacts. 1. INTRODUCTION Due to wide availability of powerful graphic editing software image forgeries can be done very easily. As a result a number of forensics methods have been developed for detecting digital image forgeries even when they are visually convincing. In order to improve the existing forensics method anti-forensics methods have to be developed and studies, so that the loopholes in the existing forensics methods can be identified and hence forensics methods can be improved. By doing so, researchers can be made aware of which forensics techniques are capable of being deceived, thus preventing altered images from being represented as authentic and allowing forensics examiners to establish a degree of confidence in their findings. 2. OVERVIEW OF PROPOSED METHOD When a digital image undergoes JPEG compression it’s first divided into series of 8x8 pixel blocks.

  • Review of Artifacts in JPEG Compression and Reduction
    ISSN: 2278 – 909X International Journal of Advanced Research in Electronics and Communication Engineering (IJARECE) Volume 6, Issue 3, March - 2017 Review of Artifacts In JPEG Compression And Reduction Sima Sonawane, B.H.Pansambal Encoding Abstract— In recent years, the development of social networking and multimedia devices has grown fast which requires wide bandwidth and more storage space. The other approach is to use the available bandwidth and storage space efficiently as it is not feasible to change devices often. On social networking sites large volume of data and images are collected and stored daily. Compression is a key technique to solve the issue. JPEG compression gives good and clear results but the decompression technique usually results in artifacts in images. In this paper types of artifact and reduction techniques are discussed.

  • Better Compression with Deep Pre-Editing
    1 Better Compression with Deep Pre-Editing Hossein Talebi, Damien Kelly, Xiyang Luo, Ignacio Garcia Dorado, Feng Yang, Peyman Milanfar and Michael Elad Google Research - Mountain View, California Abstract—Could we compress images via standard codecs while avoiding visible artifacts? The answer is obvious – this is doable as long as the bit budget is generous enough. What if the allocated bit-rate for compression is insufficient? Then unfortunately, artifacts are a fact of life. Many attempts were made over the years to fight this phenomenon, with various degrees of success. In this work we aim to break the unholy connection between bit-rate and image quality, and propose a way to circumvent compression artifacts by pre-editing the incoming image and modifying its content to fit the given bits. We design this editing operation as a learned convolutional neural network, and formulate an optimization problem for its training. Our loss takes into account a proximity between the original image and the edited one, a bit-budget penalty over the proposed image, and a no-reference image quality measure for forcing the outcome to (a) Input (b) Baseline JPEG (0.4809 bpp) be visually pleasing. The proposed approach is demonstrated on the popular JPEG compression, showing savings in bits and/or improvements in visual quality, obtained with intricate editing effects. I. INTRODUCTION Commonly used still image compression algorithms, such as JPEG [55], JPEG-2000 [15], HEIF [1] and WebP [25] produce undesired artifacts when the allocated bit rate is rel- atively low. Blockiness, ringing, and other forms of distortion are often seen in compressed-decompressed images, even at intermediate bit-rates.
