Euclid Discoveries Video Compression
Euclid
Discoveries software development company is in the
process of perfecting and developing a new video compression technology
. EuclidVision develops
and researches new video processing and
compression technologies. In order to meet todays consumer demand for
high
quality videos
on any video enabled device, they developed
EuclidVision™ focused on developing a new way to process and
compress video images. EuclidVision is a technology that will
increase video
compression ratios by reducing file
sizes dramatically and removing any existing bandwidth constraints for
the
transmission of high quality videos. Euclid
is creating a new technology that will be able to shrink digital video
without having to sacrifice visual quality, letting people use their
PDA for
high-definition video
conferencing, or an iPod for storing hundreds
of full length videos and high-quality
movies. Euclid's new
technology has clear potential applications in a wide range of
industries well beyond consumer electronics or telecommunications
including
surveillance sector, and image mining.
EuclidVision segments objects in the video, focuses
compression to
the most critical and active objects and enhances the images
for
superior video quality. Instead of trying to compress the whole image,
Euclid identifies objects of interest in the video while
maintaining and enhancing the quality of the background. This approach
makes it possible to reduce the size of files without
compromising
any video quality. EuclidVision's technology is also
MPEG-4
compliant, and can be integrated into existing compatible
media
players like Microsoft© Windows Media© Player and
RealNetworks© RealPlayer, among many others. This technology
currently provides a 460% or greater compression improvement over
MPEG-4 digital video or a 600% improvement over MPEG-2 DVD standard.
Euclid engineers are continuing to work on refining the video
technology, and they have the potential to increase its video
compression ratios even more.
