Abstract
Microsoft's recently proposed new image compression codec JPEG XR is currently undergoing ISO standardization as JPEG-XR. Even though performance measurements carried out by the JPEG committee indicated that the PSNR performance of JPEG XR is competitive, the visual performance of JPEG XR showed notable deficits, both in subjective and objective tests. This paper introduces various techniques that improve the visual performance of JPEG XR without leaving the current codestream definition. Objective measurements performed by the author indicate that the modified encoder, while staying backwards compatible to the current standard proposition, improves visual performance significantly, and the performance of the modified encoder is similar to JPEG.
