The amazing thing about JPEG is people are still squeezing out backwards compatible compression improvements 30 years later. Mozjpeg is well known by now, but Jpegli was just published last year and does even better at high bitrates[1]. It's hard to want to adopt newer formats when they keep getting squeezed by further improvements to good old JPEG.

- bonoboTP 1y agoIt would be interesting to see optimization of compression that's targeted at computer vision processing instead of human visual preferences. What I mean is that instead of making the image look as nice as possible at a certain file size, the goal would be to improve computer vision task performance scores, like running a classifier or segmentation model on that image and evaluating the correctness of the model prediction. A compression algo is better if the model accuracy is higher at a certain file size. Edit: yes, this has been done https://www.ecva.net/papers/eccv_2020/papers_ECCV/papers/123650307.pdf https://www.ecva.net/papers/eccv_2020/papers_ECCV/papers/123...
