Lossless compression

Alternative Lossless Compression: Uncompromised Image quality @ 10:1+

  • Preserves Image quality (SNR) and improve compression ratio:
    • By replacing noise with compression efficient noise
    • Improved version for visually lossless applications
  • On-the-fly Training – optimizing the compression to your video
  • Compression > Giga Pixels/sec – Unlimited CPU-Offload encoding speed on Frame Grabbers’ FPGA
  • Minimal Latency < Frame delay, ensuring real-time responsiveness
  • Quality+ IP – is part of GIL image processing flow
  • Optimal for static cameras

Gidel’s Quality+ lossless Compression Alternative for High-Speed Imaging & Vision

Gidel’s Quality+ compression is an FPGA-based real-time compression for Color Filter Array (CFA – e.g., Bayer), Monochrome, and RGB images and videos. Designed for high-speed, high-bandwidth imaging, Q+ achieves up to 10:1+ compression ratios while preserving original image quality.

Unlike conventional methods, such as visually lossless, that compromise fidelity, Quality+ maintains the original SNR, replacing unnecessary noise with compression-efficient data to maximize bandwidth efficiency without quality degradation.

With on-the-fly adaptive training, Q+ continuously optimizes compression for each video stream in real time. Operating entirely on all Gidel’s FPGA Frame Grabbers systems, it removes CPU/GPU load, supporting gigapixel-per-second throughput with near-zero latency (under one frame).

Ideal for High-Bandwidth Imaging & Vision Systems, such as medical imaging, surveillance, and defense, Gidel’s Quality+ offers a powerful alternative to traditional lossless cutting data rates, reducing storage needs, and preserving image integrity in real time.

Compressing image data, not image quality As today’s cameras deliver higher resolutions and frame rates and new systems architectures such as vision on the edge have bandwidth limitations, compression becomes a key challenge for advanced image processing applications. But how can the data throughput be reduced without jeopardizing the image and inspection quality? Read Article
