"Jpegpixi" is short for "JPEG pixel interpolator". The intent of
|
|
|
|
|
the program is to interpolate pixels in JFIF images (commonly refered
|
|
|
|
|
to as "JPEG images"). This is useful to correct images from a digital
|
|
|
|
|
camera with CCD defects. For example, if one pixel is always bright
|
|
|
|
|
green, this pixel can be interpolated away with jpegpixi.

Jpegpixi is unique in that it tries to preserve the quality of the
|
|
|
|
|
JFIF image as much as possible. Usual graphics programs decode JFIF
|
|
|
|
|
images when they are loaded, and re-encode them when they are saved,
|
|
|
|
|
which results in an overall loss of quality. Jpegpixi, on the other
|
|
|
|
|
hand, does not decode and re-encode the image, but manipulates the
|
|
|
|
|
encoded image data (known as the "DCT coefficients"). Therefore,
|
|
|
|
|
the blocks (typically 8x8, 8x16, or 16x16 pixel areas) which contain
|
|
|
|
|
the pixels to be interpolated are minimally disturbed, and other
|
|
|
|
|
blocks remain pixel-by-pixel identical to the original image.
