aug_jpeg_blocks — 2D augmentation op

Data kinds: imageimage

Call: fullseye.apply(img, "aug_jpeg_blocks", a=0.5, b=0.5) (the 2-D model is one image plus two scalar knobs a,b∈[0,1])

*The figure is the real output on a synthetic 128×128 input. Left: input, right: output (a non-image return value is shown as the value itself).*

Usage

JPEG blocking / ringing artefacts. The image (scaled to 0..255) is cut into 8x8 blocks, each transformed with an orthonormal 2-D DCT-II (`scipy.fft.dctn), quantised with the STANDARD JPEG Annex-K luminance table scaled by (1 + 40*a)/16 (a=0 -> near-lossless, a=1 -> heavy quantisation), then reconstructed with the inverse DCT. b shifts the 8x8 block grid phase by int(7*b)` px in both axes, i.e. moves where the block seams fall. Images that are not a multiple of 8 are edge-replicate padded and cropped back to HxW (so 4x4 inputs are handled).
