Post-processing block coded images using artificial neural networks
Post-processing block coded images using artificial neural networks
In this paper, a technique employing artificial neural networks for post-processing block coded images is presented. Visually important image features are extracted from the decompressed image and used as input to a feedforward neural network. The neural network learns to reconstruct the difference image between the original (uncompressed) and the decompressed image. Coding artifact reduction is achieved by adding the neural networks output to the decompressed image. Experimental results
using the new technique for post-processing
quadtree coded images are presented. It is shown
the new technique can significantly improve the
compressed image both in terms of peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and visual quality of the image.

Abstract
In this paper, a technique employing artificial neural networks for post-processing block coded images is presented. Visually important image features are extracted from the decompressed image and used as input to a feedforward neural network. The neural network learns to reconstruct the difference image between the original (uncompressed) and the decompressed image. Coding artifact reduction is achieved by adding the neural networks output to the decompressed image. Experimental results
using the new technique for post-processing
quadtree coded images are presented. It is shown
the new technique can significantly improve the
compressed image both in terms of peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and visual quality of the image.
