JPEG Image Compression

This project implements the baseline sequential DCT-based (lossy) JPEG encoder and decoder as described by the ISO-IEC-10918-1-1993 standard. The main steps involved are:

• Pre-processing: RGB ↔ YCbCr conversion and subsampling (4:4:4, 4:2:2, 4:2:0)
• Transformation: Block [8x8] DCT to convert spatial domain to frequency domain
• Compression: Quantization, run-length encoding, and Huffman coding
