Yes, I understand why the initial compression of a bitmap (not necessarily a .BMP) to a JPEG is lossy, via the quantization step after DCT. But if I decompress a JPEG back to a new bitmap, and then re ...
Many methods of lossy compression have been developed; however, a family of techniques called transform compression has proven the most valuable. The best example of transform compression is embodied ...
