Abstract(in English) Image compression is one of important technologies in the fields of image processing in terms of efficient transmission and storing of images. Since there exist efficient image compression methods today, we can compress a given image by those methods efficiently. However, many existing compressed images were compressed by the conventional JPEG. Thus, we need a technique for improving the quality of JPEG images especially with low bit-rates. Many methods for improving the quality of JPEG images have been proposed. Among them, a method based on re-application of JPEG is recognized as one of efficient methods. The key idea of this method is adopting a weighted sum of images constructed by re-application of JPEG, which means compression and decoding, to various shifted version of a given JPEG image. In this paper, we propose a method for constructing a better weights for the weighted sum of images in order to improve the performance of the method based on re-application of JPEG, incorporating a image database and novel distance measures between two images. We also show some results of numerical examples in order to verify the efficacy of the proposed method.
