Chapters: 00:00 Introducing JPEG and RGB Representation 2:15 Lossy Compression 3:41 What information can we get rid of? 4:36 Introducing YCbCr 6:10 Chroma subsampling/downsampling 8:10 Images represented as signals 9:52 Introducing the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) 11:32 Sampling cosine waves 12:43 Playing around with the DCT 17:38 Mathematically defining the DCT 21:02 The Inverse DCT 22:45 The 2D DCT 23:49 Visualizing the 2D DCT 24:35 Introducing Energy Compaction 26:05 Brilliant Sponsorship 27:23 Building an image from the 2D DCT 28:20 Quantization 30:23 Run-length/Huffman Encoding within JPEG 32:56 How JPEG fits into the big picture of data compression The JPEG algorithm is rather complex and in this video, we break down the core parts of the algorithm, specifically color spaces, YCbCr, chroma subsampling, the discrete cosine transform, quantization, and lossless encoding. The majority of the focus is on the mathematical and signal processing insights that lead to advancements in image compression and the big themes in compression as a whole that we can take away from it. Animations created jointly by Nipun Ramakrishnan and Jesús Rascón.
