A Java Implementation of JPEG
Baseline Codec
Abstract
JPEG is the most popular format for compressed images and plays
the most important role in image representation in telecommunication
and computer industry today. In this thesis we studied the principles
involved in the JPEG baseline coding and implemented the standard
algorithms for image format conversions, such as that for conversion
from GIF to JPEG and vice versa. In particular, we implemented an
encoder that converts a raw image into a JPEG format, and a decoder
that reconstructs the original image from its JPEG representation.
The result is a modern Java software tool with an object-oriented design.
In addition, we evaluated the performance of the tool by testing it with
different images and then comparing it with other image compression
schemes.
