I agree that it's nice to have this kind of write up and code, but "works" is a low bar to pass, especially in image compression. If this were written up as an academic paper, a few questions would have to be answered:
* what is the related work?
* can you put any bound on the error of the reconstruction?
* how does performance vary across resolution, noise, and content?
* how does that compare to the other state-of-the-art methods?
Without that, how do we know whether this is worth using?
