Given the image on the left, two study participants made the reconstruction on the right. People preferred their reconstruction to the image at the center, a highly compressed version of the original ...

NASA is developing an image compression algorithm ' ICER ' optimized for high data loss situations such as 'wireless image transfer from space to earth'. The implementation of such ICER as a C ...

In a nutshell: Stable Diffusion is a phenomenal example of how much a picture is worth more than a thousand words. In fact, by cutting the image-generation text prompt altogether, the visual AI could ...

Image compression, once the domain of the PC, is becoming pervasive in embedded environments. This trend is largely a result of the increased processing power and multimedia capabilities of new DSPs.

This paper discusses the hardware implementation of an encoder and a decoder for the QOI lossless RGB image format. Some results are given for the AMD/Xilinx architecture, reaching over 800 Mpixels/s ...

Last week, Swiss software engineer Matthias Bühlmann discovered that the popular image synthesis model Stable Diffusion could compress existing bitmapped images with fewer visual artifacts than JPEG ...
