Could you post the command lines used for the various encoders? Also, for mozjpeg, if you use arithmetic encoding instead of huffman encoding, what is the effect? I know arithmetic encoding isn't supported by a lot of browsersbut neither are most of the formats being tested in the study. So it seems appropriate to consider. ___ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform

Hi Josh You write that we should re-encode with cjpeg rather than just optimize with jpegtran, but what settings would you use for this, if the purpose is just to optimize, and not actually change the format, quality and so on, in any way? I tried with cjpeg -quality 100 -optimize -progressive but this seems to give me much bigger files. I am hoping to optimize images uploaded for websites, which has allready had the quality setting changed to fit their purpose, so I am just interested in optimizing the images lossless, which seems like a similar case to John's. And one other thing: I been testing an early version of jpegtran from MozJpeg, but after upgrading to 2.0 my testfiles seems to grow by a few KB, after being optimized. Was there an error in the older versions that deleted a bit too much data or did the algorithm change to the worse in 2.0? I am using jpegtran -optimize -progressive -copy none with both versions. ___ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform

Re: Studying Lossy Image Compression Efficiency, July 2014
Are there any plans to integrate into other tools, specifically imagemagick? Or would you leave that up to others? For now we're going to stay focused on improving compression in mozjpeg's library. I think a larger improved toolchain for optimizing JPEGs would be great, but it's probably outside the scope of the mozjpeg project. While you state that you now accept also jpeg for re-compression, this usually involves loss of quality in the process. Options for improving re-compression are very limited if you're not willing to accept any quality loss. That said, our 'jpgcrush' feature does reduce size significantly for progressive JPEGs without harming quality. Does mozjpeg have a preferred input format (for best quality/performance)? Not really. It's probably best to input JPEG if your source image is JPEG, otherwise I'd probably recommend converting to BMP for use with cjpeg. ___ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform

Re: Studying Lossy Image Compression Efficiency, July 2014
One option that I haven't seen compared is the combination of JPEG w/ packJPG (http://packjpg.encode.ru/?page_id=17). packJPG can further compress JPEG images another 20%+ and still reproduce the original bit-for-bit. More details on how this is done can be found here: http://mattmahoney.net/dc/dce.html#Section_616 To me it seems that JPEG+packJPG could be competitive or exceed HEVC-MSP on bits/pixel.

Josh, I work for CloudFlare on many things but recently on image compression. We have a product called Polish that recompresses images for our customers automatically. As we are in the process of rolling out a new version I looked at mozjpeg 2.0. I selected 10,000 random JPEGs that we were caching for customers and ran them through mozjpeg 2.0 via jpegtran. Some interesting facts: 1. 691 files were not compressed further. This compares with 3,471 that libjpeg-turbo did not compress further. 2. Of the compression files the average compression was about 3%. 3. Run time was about 1.7x the libjpeg-turbo time. 4.

Re: Studying Lossy Image Compression Efficiency, July 2014
Cool =Re decoding. I'm replying to this note: 1. We're fans of libjpeg-turbo - it powers JPEG decoding in Firefox because its focus is on being fast, and that isn't going to change any time soon. The mozjpeg project focuses solely on encoding, and we trade some CPU cycles for smaller file sizes. We recommend using libjpeg-turbo for a standard JPEG library and any decoding tasks. Use mozjpeg when creating JPEGs for the Web. Why not use hardware for JPEG? It uses less memory, and battery as well as being quicker. It's available on many devices these days too. Why use the CPU to first convert a small amount of data into a big amount of data when it's not needed by most hardware? Not only that, but you probably store the original JPEG data in cache as well! The fastest decoder is the one that does nothing. Just let the dedicated JPEG decoding hardware, or the GPU do it. All talk of considering decoding performance is kind of silly considering the JPEG performance could be improved massively. best, ___ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform

With all the options available for image processing one can end up with building quite a complex chain of tools and commands to produce the best output.
