Abstract
A recursive algorithm is presented for generating quantization tables in JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) baseline coders from the actual statistics of the input image. Starting from a quantization table with large step sizes, corresponding to low bit rate and high distortion, one entry of the quantization table is updated at a time so that, at each step, the ratio of decrease in distortion to increase in bit rate is approximately maximized. This procedure is repeated until a target bit rate is reached. Simulation results demonstrate that, with picture-adaptive quantization tables designed by the proposed algorithm, the JPEG DCT (discrete cosine transform) coder is able to compress images with better rate-distortion performance than that achievable with conventional empirically designed quantization tables.Keywords
