FPGA Lossless Compression Alternative

FPGA Image Compression for High-Bandwidth Imaging

Gidel’s Quality+ is a proprietary FPGA image compression IP developed as a high-performance alternative to traditional lossless compression.

Quality+ performs real-time FPGA-based compression for Color Filter Array formats, such as Bayer, as well as monochrome and RGB images and videos. Designed for high-speed, high-bandwidth imaging, Quality+ achieves compression ratios up to 10:1+ while preserving the original image quality.

Unlike conventional visually lossless methods that compromise fidelity, Quality+ maintains the original signal-to-noise ratio, SNR, by replacing unnecessary noise with compression-efficient data. This maximizes bandwidth efficiency without degrading image quality.

Adaptive FPGA Compression with On-the-Fly Training

With on-the-fly adaptive training, Quality+ continuously optimizes compression for each video stream in real time. Operating entirely on the FPGA, it removes CPU and GPU load while supporting throughput exceeding 1.2 GPixels/s with less than one frame period of latency.

Ideal for high-bandwidth Imaging & Vision Systems, including medical imaging, surveillance, and defense applications, Quality+ reduces data rates and storage requirements while preserving image integrity in real time.
