Abstract

The transmitting costs of image data strongly impact the user experience in multimedia services such as Instagram and Twitter. In this paper, we design a novel image transmission pipeline for both efficiently reducing data usage and preserving image quality in those services. Through analyzing the varying features in resized image, we found that high-frequency details achieve a major loss. Based on this impact, we build a series of mechanisms to construct our pipeline: 1) an image resampling mechanism, 2) a high-frequency feature extraction technique, and 3) an image reconstruction method based on the resampled image and its local features. Besides, we also introduce an adaptive binning approach for improving the performance of feature extraction. Finally, we conduct several experiments which show that the proposed pipeline significantly outperforms other baselines in preserving image quality and transmitting time, and is comparable in reducing data usage.
