什么是量化表(Quantization Tables )

Quantization Tables

• In JPEG, each F[u,v] is divided by a constant q(u,v).

• Table of q(u,v) is called quantization table.

• Eye is most sensitive to low frequencies (upper left corner), less sensitive to high frequencies (lower right corner)

• Standard defines 2 default quantization tables, one for luminance (above), one for chrominance.

• Q: How would changing the numbers affect the picture (e.g., if I doubled them all)?

  Quality factor in most implementations is the scaling factor for default quantization tables.

• Custom quantization tables can be put in image/scan header.
