Abstract
An image compression device includes a discrete cosine transform (DCT) circuit, a quantization noise shaping (QNS) circuit, and an encoder circuit. The DCT circuit performs a DCT on original image data to generate first data. The QNS circuit performs QNS on block data in first data to determine, based on a first coefficient and a second coefficient of the block data, a QNS score of the first coefficient, and replace the first coefficient with the second coefficient when the QNS score is greater than zero so as to generate second data, wherein the second coefficient is obtained by decreasing an absolute value of the first coefficient. The encoder circuit encodes the second data to generate compressed image data.
