Re:Faster Images using HTTP2 and Progressive JPEGs by vladdanilov on Wednesday December 28, 2016 @12:56PM (#13272221)
The AI approach is interesting but there are just too many problems with it.

MozJPEG is actually using something similar called trellis quantization or soft-thresholding. The idea is to further quantize DCT coefficients in noisy areas. There are some limitations [1] though. But it's not an issue with locally sensitive metrics and can be improved with edge detection.

Another challenge here is to estimate the current image quality and the target error.
