Artifact-Compensated Training for JPEG-to-JPEG-AI Recompression Avoids 29x Slowdown

A new paper tackles recompressing JPEG images into the JPEG AI format. The authors show that directly applying JPEG AI (trained on uncompressed images) to JPEG inputs preserves the original JPEG artifacts in the output. Using an external artifact-removal neural pre-filter fixes this but increases processing time by 29x. The paper instead proposes artifact-compensated training for JPEG AI, combining pre-filtering against target distortions with efficient compression in a single step.
