System and method for adaptive animation compression

摘要

The present invention provides a compression-decompression technique used for processing a frame of data in multimedia animation, comprising the steps of: setting a predetermined criteria; creating a sprite based frame related to said data; performing a pixel-by-pixel comparison of said data with a preceding frame for creating a frame differences based frame; determining a first data rate of said sprite based frame and a second data rate of said frame differences based frame; comparing said first and said data rates to said predetermined criteria; and selecting one of said sprite based frame and said frame differences based frame as a compressed frame. By this approach, systems and methods of the present invention can provide adaptive animation compression. <IMAGE>
