Learned Lossless JPEG Transcoding via Joint Lossy and Residual Compression

As a commonly-used image compression format, JPEG has been broadly applied in the transmission and storage of images. To further reduce the compression cost while maintaining the quality of JPEG images, lossless transcoding technology has been proposed to recompress the compressed JPEG image in the DCT domain. Previous works, on the other hand, typically reduce the redundancy of DCT coefficients and optimize the probability prediction of entropy coding in a hand-crafted manner that lacks generalization ability and flexibility. To tackle the above challenge, we propose the learned lossless JPEG transcoding framework via Joint Lossy and Residual Compression. Instead of directly optimizing the entropy estimation, we focus on the redundancy that exists in the DCT coefficients. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to utilize the learned end-to-end lossy transform coding to reduce the redundancy of DCT coefficients in a compact representational domain. We also introduce residual compression for lossless transcoding, which adaptively learns the distribution of residual DCT coefficients before compressing them using context-based entropy coding. Our proposed transcoding architecture shows significant superiority in the compression of JPEG images thanks to the collaboration of learned lossy transform coding and residual entropy coding. Extensive experiments on multiple datasets have demonstrated that our proposed framework can achieve about 21.49% bits saving in average based on JPEG compression, which outperforms the typical lossless transcoding framework JPEG-XL by 3.51%.
