Conditional Image Compression - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18661245 titled 'Conditional Image Compression
Simplified Explanation:
This patent application describes a method of encoding components of an image, where a primary component is encoded independently from at least one secondary component, and the secondary component is encoded using information from the primary component.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Conditional coding of image components
- Encoding primary and secondary components independently
- Using information from the primary component to encode secondary components
Potential Applications: This technology could be used in image compression algorithms, video encoding, and multimedia applications where efficient encoding of image components is crucial.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses the challenge of efficiently encoding different components of an image while maintaining image quality and reducing file size.
Benefits:
- Improved image compression
- Enhanced video encoding efficiency
- Reduced file sizes without compromising image quality
Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include software development for image and video processing, multimedia streaming services, and digital content creation tools.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this method of conditional coding improve image compression efficiency? 2. What are the specific advantages of encoding primary and secondary components independently in image processing?
Original Abstract Submitted
A conditional coding of components of an image is described. A method of encoding at least a portion of an image is provided, which comprises encoding a primary component of the image independently from at least one secondary component and encoding the at least one secondary component of the image using information from the primary component. Further, it is provided a method of encoding at least a portion of an image, comprising providing a residual comprising a primary residual component for a primary component of the image and at least one secondary residual component for at least one secondary component of the image that is different from the primary component, encoding the primary residual component independently from the at least one secondary residual component and encoding the at least one secondary residual component using information from the primary residual component.
