Abstract: Nowadays efficient image compression has become a necessary means for effective storage and transmission of digital images. However, compressed images inevitably suffer from some issues such as block artifacts, ringing artifacts, image blurring, etc. As an important way to improve image coding efficiency, compressed-image enhancement technology not only can improve compressed-image quality, but also is widely used in the pre-processing stage of computer vision tasks such as detection, recognition, segmentation, etc. This paper provides an overview of the research on compressed-image enhancement methods from the following aspects. Firstly, this paper introduces the development and classification of image enhancement technique, and compares their advantages and disadvantages, starting with traditional compressed-image enhancement approaches and compressed-image enhancement methods based on deep learning. Secondly, several key techniques of compressed-image enhancement are introduced and analyzed, such as contrastive learning, reinforcement learning, curriculum learning, knowledge distillation, adversarial learning, and network architecture search. Finally, this paper summarizes and gives some prospects on the future development direction of compressed-image enhancement technique.
