US Patent 11368697 Adaptive image compression using a quality metric

A method includes compressing an image using a quality setting, determining a quality of the compressed image based on a quality metric, and determining if the quality of the compressed image is within a quality range. In response to determining the quality of the compressed image is within the quality range, store the compressed image; and in response to determining the quality of the compressed image is not within the quality range, modify the quality setting, and repeat the compressing step with the modified quality setting, both determining steps, and the applicable in response to step.
