• Abstract: JPEG is still the most widely used image compression algorithm. Most image compression algorithms only consider uncompressed original image, while ignoring a large number of already existing JPEG images. Recently, JPEG recompression approaches have been proposed to further reduce the size of JPEG files. However, those methods only consider JPEG lossless recompression, which is just a special case of the rate-distortion theorem. In this paper, we propose a unified lossly and lossless JPEG recompression framework, which consists of learned quantization table and Markovian hierarchical variational autoencoders. Experiments show that our method can achieve arbitrarily low distortion when the bitrate is close to the upper bound, namely the bitrate of the lossless compression model. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first learned method that bridges the gap between lossy and lossless recompression of JPEG images.

To enable learning in the frequency domain, DCT coefficients are partitioned into groups to utilize implicit local redundancy. An autoencoder-like architecture is designed based on the weight-shared blocks to realize entropy modeling of grouped DCT coefficients.

  It is still an open challenge to achieve the goal of data hiding that can be against these compressions. Deep learning has shown large success in data hiding, while non-differentiability of JPEG makes it challenging to train a deep pipeline for improving robustness against lossy compression. In this work, we propose a simple yet effective approach to address all the above limitations at once.
