Distortion-Controlled Dithering with Reduced Recompression Rate
2024 Data Compression Conference (DCC)(2024)
摘要
Dithering is a technique that can improve human perception of low-resolution
data by reducing quantization artifacts. In this work we formalize and
analytically justify two metrics for quantization artifact prominence, using
them to design a novel dithering method for distortion-controlled data
compression. We present theoretical entropy calculations for this dither and
experimentally validate its performance on a low-rate image compression task.
The result is a drastic improvement in the perceptual quality of quantized
images with a lower recompression entropy than any state-of-the-art dither
technique, achieving 45 points lower PIQUE at the same rate or 40
at the same PIQUE. The proposed dither is an adaptable tool applicable for use
in any lossy compression system, permitting precise control of rate-distortion
characteristics for both compression and recompression.
