| 20110176743 | DATA COMPRESSION METHODS - Data compression methods include an adaptive context sensitive compression (ACSC) method for data compression, a generalized discrete wavelength transform (GDWT) method for data compression, and a data compression method combining both the ACSC method and the GDWT method. The ACSC method improves upon the conventional CSC method with the development of a more informed adaptive estimate of the relative bandwidth, and hence the corresponding sampling rate, for each row of an image, rather than a global decimation rate for all the rows of the image. The GDWT method may be successful with N is an arbitrary number and may result in reduced computational complexity and reduced storage requirements, as compared to conventional DWT, when N is not a power of two. | 07-21-2011 |
