Gidel’s lossless Image Compression IP targets FPGA-based Imaging & Vision applications. This lossless image compression IP performs real-time compression for Color Filter Array (CFA – e.g., Bayer), Monochrome, and RGB images and videos. It supports multi-camera/sensor systems at pixel clock rates exceeding 1 Gpixel/s, using minimal FPGA resources and power. In real-world video tests, it achieves a 1:2.3 compression ratio at 8 bits/pixel. Higher bit configurations are available upon request.
The IP integrates seamlessly with Gidel’s comprehensive eco-system, enabling tailored solutions with image processing, vision algorithms, and concurrent recording. Recording can also be enhanced by Gidel’s CamSim playback system.
Two compression modes are available:
-
Frame compression – compress individual images.
-
Video compression – compress video using I and P frames.
Compression can be optimized via pre-training on sample image data or on-the-fly training from real-time data.
Target applications:
- Recording Systems
- Broadcasting and Video
- Smart Cities
- Surveillance
- Autonomous cars
