METHOD OF ISOMORPHIC SINGULAR MANIFOLD PROJECTION STILL/VIDEO IMAGERY COMPRESSION

摘要

The method of still image compression uses isomorphic singular manifold projection (1) whereby surfaces of objects having singular manifold representations are represented by best match canonical polynomials to arrive at a model representation (2). The model representation (3) is compared with the original representation (4) to arrive at a difference (5). If the difference exceeds a predetermined threshold, the difference data are saved and compressed using standard lossy compression (6). The coefficients from the best match polynomial together with the difference data, if any, are then compressed using lossless compression (6).
