Paper Title:

Algorithms for Manipulating Compressed Images

Authors:

Brian C. Smith and Lawrence A. Rowe

Main Point(s):

The paper proposes a new technique that implements operations directly on compressed JPEG data, resulting much faster performance than the brute-force way of decompressing first, processing and compressing the final result. Basic algebraic image operations of pixel-wise and scalar addition and multiplication are shown and used to implement two common video transformations: dissolve and subtitle.

Possible Use(s):

Since the operations on the compressed image domain is much faster, we can use the schemes to do real-time digital video data.

Extensions:

More image operations, such as geometric transformations and filtering, and image understanding and computer vision algorithms can be explored in compressed image domain.
