Image-Processing

• The project is a codec based on JPEG Image compression algorithm
• Seperate notebooks for compression and decompression are provided.
• The compression algorithm outputs a bin file (ci.bin in this case) which is the compressed version of the image file whose path needs to be given in the input
• The decompression algorithms taken the bin file (ci.bin in this case) and results in an image that is reconstructed version of the previous image.
• 3 Standatd quantization matrices are already pred-defined in the code ant quantizations actor needs to be given as input
• For encoding Huffmand Encoding scheme is implemented
• The algorithms perform majorly the following steps
  • DCT of 8x8 individual blocks
  • Quantization
  • Encoding
  • Storage in binary file

Where to look

• The master branch consists of MATAB version of the project with several bugs pertaining to high errors in decompressed image
• The image-compression-python branch consists of python code that is more accurate and reliable. That's what you are looking for

Future objective

• The python code is sequential which make the processing cubersome for large images. Work is being done to make the code distributive and parallelize the algorithm.
