  • Process for controlling the compression ratio of digital images
    Patent number: 6668089
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for controlling the compression ratio of digital images. This process consists of compressing a digitized image by means of a conventional process such as that known by the abbreviation JPEG. The compression ratio of the image is modified by modifying a parameter of the JPEG process, called the scale factor. According to the invention this scale factor is modified until the compression ratio obtained lies in a range of tolerance of the desired compression ratio. The process uses and approximation to the actual curve of the compression ratio as a function of the scale factor, in order to minimize the number of iterations needed to attain the desired compression ratio.
