ABSTRACT:
A method and system eliminates visible quantizing artifacts in a digital image. The present invention eliminates visible artifacts by determining a function descriptive of a noise model for an input source of image data, utilizing a critical noise/quantizing factor in conjunction with the noise model function to determine a quantization function, and deriving optimum coding for the image data from the quantization function to produce digital image data lacking visible quantization artifacts. The critical noise/quantizing factor is a constant value found to be a value of 3/8. The present invention further includes deriving inverse coding for the optimum coding to allow processing of the digital image.
