- Abstract
JPEG is the international standard for still image encoding and is the most widely used compression algorithm because of its simple encoding process and low computational complexity. Recently, many methods have been developed to improve the quality of JPEG images by using deep learning. However, these methods require the use of high-performance devices since they need to perform neural network computation for decoding images. In this paper, we propose a method to generate high-quality images using deep learning without changing the decoding algorithm. The key idea is to reduce and smooth colors and gradient regions in the original images before JPEG compression. The reduction and smoothing can suppress red block noise and pseudo-contour in the compressed images. Furthermore, high-performance devices are unnecessary for decoding. The proposed method consists of two components: a color transformation network using deep learning and a pseudo-contour suppression model using signal processing. The experimental results showed that the proposed method outperforms standard JPEG in quality measurements correlated with human perception.
