[PATCH] tinyjpeg: Better luminance quantization table for Pixart JPEG

[Jean-Francois Moine]

An other luminance quantization table gives a better quality to the
Pixart images created by the webcams handled by the gspca drivers
pac7302 and pac7311 (pixel format 'PJPG').

Tests have been done with 5 different pac7302 webcams. The marker was
always 0x44.

Re: [PATCH] tinyjpeg: Better luminance quantization table for Pixart JPEG

[Hans de Goede]

Hi,

Thanks for the patch, I've pushed it to v4l-utils master and I will
cherry-pick it into the stable-0.8 branch after this mail.

I noticed while testing with a pac7302 camera, that under certain
circumstances the jpeg decompression still goes wrong. When you
point the camera at a high contrast picture in proper daylight,
it switches to a higher compression for certain areas of the picture,
and these areas become quite "blockey" when this happens the marker
changes to a different value. I think we should use a different
quant. table when this happens. It would be great if you can reproduce
this and find out a way to make the image less blocky in these
cases.

Thanks & Regards,

Hans
