Given the image on the left, two study participants made the reconstruction on the right. People preferred their reconstruction to the image at the center, a highly compressed version of the original ...

In a nutshell: Stable Diffusion is a phenomenal example of how much a picture is worth more than a thousand words. In fact, by cutting the image-generation text prompt altogether, the visual AI could ...

Last week, Swiss software engineer Matthias Bühlmann discovered that the popular image synthesis model Stable Diffusion could compress existing bitmapped images with fewer visual artifacts than JPEG ...

Image compression, once the domain of the PC, is becoming pervasive in embedded environments. This trend is largely a result of the increased processing power and multimedia capabilities of new DSPs.

A 3.0X times image compression method and fast storage device accessing H.265 referencing image frame is achieved by applying fixed bit rate to reduce each “Block of pixels” data of each image frame.

Because video clips are made up of sequences of individual images, or “frames,” video compression algorithms share many concepts and techniques with still-image compression algorithms. Therefore, we ...
