Boosting Bandwidth Capabilities With Lossless Compression

This virtual session discusses compression, an often misunderstood, undervalued and under-deployed tool for vision applications. This session will discuss the various approaches to deploying compression, and how a novel approach enables low latency, high reliability, and lossless compression for vision applications. When designed and deployed properly compression can significantly boost the bandwidth capabilities of existing infrastructure and increase performance while maintaining and lowering costs.

The session will include real-world examples of compression deployed in high-value imaging systems for security, defense, and medical devices, such as, dental/medical Imaging, which requires larger image sensors and more data but without the need to invest and replace installed infrastructure and reduces exposure times and not requiring second scans. 360 imaging/machine vision will also be covered, where compression empowers more image sources, 24/7 monitoring, and the ability to support larger image sensors and multiple networked devices over lower-cost infrastructure.
