JPEG and MPEG Image Compression

JPEG and MPEG are standards for image and video compression. JPEG uses DCT-based compression for still images and offers lossless and lossy compression modes. MPEG compresses full motion video using inter-frame compression, achieving high compression ratios while maintaining reasonable quality. MPEG supports features like random access and error robustness. It defines three frame types - I, P, and B frames - for compression.

CONTENT BEYOND SYLLABUS

JPEG and MPEG image compression


 If compression is the main goal of the algorithm, an image is represented using
a lower number of bits per pixel, without losing the ability to reconstruct the
image.
 It is necessary to find statistical properties of the image to design an appropriate
compression transformation of the image; the more correlated the image data
are, the more data items can be removed.

 Data compression methods can be divided into two principal groups:


 Information preserving compression permit error-free data reconstruction
(lossless compression).
 Compression methods with loss of information do not preserve the
information completely (lossy compression).

 There is an increasing effort to achieve standardization in image compression.


 The Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) has developed an international
standard for general purpose, color, still-image compression.
 MPEG standard (Motion Picture Experts Group) was developed for full-
motion video image sequences with applications to digital video distribution
and high definition television (HDTV) in mind.
JPEG - still image compression
 JPEG is widely used in many application areas.
 Four compression modes are furnished
o Sequential DCT-based compression
o Progressive DCT-based compression
o Sequential lossless predictive compression
o Hierarchical lossy or lossless compression
 In Progressive JPEG Compression, a sequence of scans is produced, each
scan containing a coded subset of DCT coefficients.
 A buffer is needed at the output of the quantizer to store all DCT coefficients of
the entire image.
 These coefficients are selectively encoded.

MPEG - full-motion video compression


 Video and associated audio data can be compressed using MPEG compression
algorithms.
 Using inter-frame compression, compression ratios of 200 can be achieved in
full-motion, motion-intensive video applications maintaining reasonable
quality.
 MPEG compression facilitates the following features of the compressed video
o random access,
o fast forward/reverse searches,
o reverse playback,
o audio-visual synchronization,
o robustness to error,
o editability,
o format flexibility, and
o cost tradeoff
 Currently, three standards are frequently cited:
o MPEG-1 for compression of low-resolution (320x240) full-motion video
at rates of 1-1.5 Mb/s
o MPEG-2 for higher resolution standards like TV and HDTV at the rates
of 2-80 Mb/s
o MPEG-4 for small-frame full-motion compression with slow refresh
needs, rates of 9-40kb/s for video-telephony and interactive multimedia
like video-conferencing.

 MPEG can be equally well used for


both symmetric and asymmetric applications.
 The video data consist of a sequence of image frames.
 In the MPEG compression scheme, three frame types are defined;
o intraframes I
o predicted frames P
o forward, backward, or bi-directionally predicted or interpolated frames B
