Abstract:
As networking technologies evolve, the ability to support
the low-latency transmission of lossless video for applications
such as scientific visualization or medical imaging
will continue to become more important. With all the
research focused on lossless and near-lossless image compression,
little gains in compression performance have been
achieved over the last decade. In this paper, we introduce
a system that provides comparable compression ratios to
current lossless compression techniques but makes it more
amenable to network transmission and playback. Working
with computer graphics researchers, this system provides
the appropriate tradeoff of constraints and performance for
their needs.
