Format identification for fragmented image data

摘要

Format identification for fragmented data is disclosed. In some embodiments, an input stream of information that includes a continuity property is received. A format identifier of at least a portion of the stream is determined, wherein the format identifier includes a data representation size, a group size, and an alignment that is consistent with the continuity property. The stream of information is compressed using a compression technique selected based on the format identifier to produce a compressed stream, and the compressed stream is stored.

主权项

1. A system for storing information, comprising:
an interface that receives an uncompressed input stream of information; a processor configured to:
determine that at least a portion of the uncompressed input stream satisfies a continuity property by determining a format identifier that at least the portion of the uncompressed input stream satisfies, wherein the determined format identifier comprises a tuple including a data representation size corresponding to a number of bytes used to store values, a group size corresponding to a number of channels, and a number of bytes for alignment; andcompress the at least portion of the uncompressed input stream of information using a compression technique selected based on the determined continuity property and format identifier to produce a compressed stream; and a memory that stores the compressed stream.
