/prog/ - Data Compression

Hey there /prog/, if one has two differently compressed versions of something (say, a photo) both of which are lossy, is it possible to 'combine' them in an attempt to re-create the original? If so, what techniques for doing this are available?

Sorry if I didn't make this clear, but the goal is to re-create the original image/data which is presumed lost/missing/inaccessible/absent.

Or at least end up with something less lossy than the two files you start with.

If you have two signals that are both replicates of an original signal with some bounded error added, you can create a new signal with tighter or equal error bounds by averaging the two signals.

whoa, what if you compress a JPEG, do a delta against the original, then try to compress that and see the increase in quality.

I managed to end up with a resultant image which was further from the original than either of the two images I started with.
