In this paper, we propose a hybrid method which consists of downsampling/upsampling, significance map coding and local cosine transform to reduce the disadvantage of lossy compression and is also compatible with current standards. Experimental results show that performance of the proposed method is better than the conventional approaches.enLocal cosine transformSignificance map codingImage compressionArticle62101132618-6462
