Conditional Image Compression - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240296593 titled 'Conditional Image Compression

The abstract describes a method of encoding components of an image, where the primary component is encoded independently from at least one secondary component, and the secondary component is encoded using information from the primary component.

  • Primary component of the image is encoded separately from secondary components
  • Secondary components are encoded with information from the primary component
  • Residual components are used for encoding, with primary residual encoded independently from secondary residuals

Potential Applications: - Image compression algorithms - Video encoding techniques - Data storage optimization

Problems Solved: - Efficient encoding of image components - Reduction of data redundancy in encoding processes

Benefits: - Improved image compression ratios - Enhanced data storage efficiency - Faster data transmission speeds

Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Image Compression Technology for Data Storage Solutions This technology can be utilized in various industries such as: - Media and entertainment - Healthcare imaging systems - Surveillance and security systems

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method of encoding improve image compression efficiency? 2. What are the potential drawbacks of using residual components in image encoding?


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.
