Abstract

In this paper, we present a new JPEG (Joint Photograph Experts Group) compression architecture which compresses still image into fixed size of bitstream to use restricted system memory efficiently. The size of bitstream is determined by the complexity of image and the quantization table. But the quantization table is set in advance the complexity of image is the essential factor. Therefore the size of bitstream for high complexity image is large and the size for low complexity image is small. This means that the management of restricted system memory is difficult. The proposed JPEG encoder estimates the size of bitstream using the correlation between consecutive frames and selects the quantization table suited to the complexity of image. This makes efficient use of system memory.
