An efficient algorithm for optimizing DCT quantization.
We describe the RD-OPT algorithm for DCT quantization optimization, which can be used as an efficient tool for near-optimal rate control in DCT-based compression techniques, such as JPEG and MPEG. RD-OPT measures DCT coefficient statistics for the given image data to construct rate/distortion-specific quantization tables with nearly optimal tradeoffs.
