Gidel Quality+ Compression Award 2025: inVISION Top Innovation

Gidel Quality+ Compression Award 2025: Why the Technology Stands Out

The Gidel Quality+ Compression Award 2025 recognition from inVISION highlights Gidel’s FPGA-based compression technology for high-bandwidth imaging and machine vision systems.

Quality+ Compression reduces image data in real time while maintaining high image quality. Gidel designed it for imaging systems where bandwidth, storage, throughput, and latency are critical.

Real-Time 1:10+ Compression While Maintaining Image Quality

Quality+ Compression can deliver compression ratios of approximately 1:10+ while preserving the image information required by demanding vision applications.

This makes the technology relevant to industrial inspection, semiconductor inspection, fixed-camera surveillance, high-resolution recording, scientific imaging, and other applications where large image streams must be reduced without sacrificing useful image information.

More Than 1.2 Gigapixels per Second with Sub-Frame Latency

Quality+ Compression processes more than 1.2 gigapixels per second while operating with less than one frame of latency.

Because Quality+ Compression runs directly in the FPGA, it can reduce image data close to the acquisition stage. This lowers the amount of data that downstream processors, storage systems, and networks must handle.

FPGA Compression for High-Bandwidth Imaging Systems

Gidel integrates Quality+ Compression directly into FPGA-based acquisition and image-processing pipelines.

The compression engine can operate alongside camera acquisition, image enhancement, HDR, and other FPGA processing stages. This creates a deterministic pipeline that reduces image data before it moves deeper into the system.

As image resolutions, frame rates, and camera counts increase, this approach helps system designers manage larger image streams without transferring the full uncompressed workload through the entire processing chain.

Quality+ Compression Supported Platforms

Gidel supports Quality+ Compression across its acquisition and FPGA processing platforms, including:

• PCIe Frame Grabbers for high-bandwidth image acquisition and FPGA processing
• FantoVision Edge AI Systems for compact embedded acquisition, FPGA processing, and NVIDIA Jetson AI
• Mini FPGA Modules for custom embedded, OEM, and high-performance imaging systems

Quality+ Compression runs in the FPGA processing pipeline before the system transfers image data to the host CPU, GPU, Jetson processor, storage system, or network.

This allows the same Quality+ Compression technology to support different Gidel hardware architectures while preserving deterministic FPGA processing and low-latency operation.

Why the Gidel Quality+ Compression Award 2025 Matters

The Gidel Quality+ Compression Award 2025 recognition reflects a growing challenge across machine vision and high-performance imaging systems.

Modern cameras continue to increase resolution, frame rate, and aggregate data throughput. This places greater pressure on PCIe bandwidth, memory, storage, networks, CPUs, GPUs, and embedded AI processors.

Quality+ Compression addresses this challenge by reducing image data close to acquisition. This helps prevent unnecessary uncompressed data from consuming downstream bandwidth and storage resources.

The technology is relevant to applications such as industrial inspection, defense imaging, long-duration recording, and other high-bandwidth vision systems.
