    Image Compression: Processing:
    In the second step of an image compression process, a transformation is applied to the prepared data.

    Image Processing in JPEG:
    For the decompression of the JPEG coded data the inverse DCT must be applied to get a presentation of the time space.
     

     


    Inverse Image Processing in JPEG:
    If the DCT and the inverse DCT could be calculated with full precision, it would be possible to reproduce the source pixelexactly. From a theoretical point of view, DCT would be lossless in this case. In practise, precision is restricted and DCT is lossy.
