Image Compression By Embedding Five Modulus Method Into JPEG

TL;DR

This paper introduces FJPEG, a modified JPEG algorithm embedding the Five Modulus Method to enhance compression ratios, achieving roughly double the compression efficiency with comparable image quality.

Contribution

The paper proposes a novel embedding of the Five Modulus Method into JPEG, significantly increasing compression ratios while maintaining image quality.

Findings

FJPEG achieves approximately twice the compression ratio of standard JPEG.

Image quality after compression remains comparable to JPEG.

The method was validated using standard test images with favorable error metrics.

Abstract

The standard JPEG format is almost the optimum format in image compression. The compression ratio in JPEG sometimes reaches 30:1. The compression ratio of JPEG could be increased by embedding the Five Modulus Method (FMM) into the JPEG algorithm. The novel algorithm gives twice the time as the standard JPEG algorithm or more. The novel algorithm was called FJPEG (Five-JPEG). The quality of the reconstructed image after compression is approximately approaches the JPEG. Standard test images have been used to support and implement the suggested idea in this paper and the error metrics have been computed and compared with JPEG.
