compression - Compressing a lot of similar JPEG images

I have a lot of—hundreds of thousands—JPEG images, and most of them are very similar to each other. While they aren’t of high quality and take about 100+ kB each, this adds up to a lot of storage. Are there any options to compress them which take the similarity into account?


I thought about something like using a video compressor which should perform well, but the images—not all of them, of course, but blocks of several thousands sequential ones—are often needed as separate files for analysis, with correct file names. Also new images are added at a rate of about 100/hour. So, just converting them all to a video once doesn’t suffice. I suppose using Fuse can help somehow? There doesn’t seem to be a ready-to-use solution, so any suggestions are welcome.
