  • Patent number: 11589063
    Abstract: A system and method for transmitting compressed video. A transmitter receives uncompressed video data from a video source, and compresses it using one or more reference frames. A receiver receives the compressed video data and decodes it, using the same reference frames, to form display data. The reference frames are stored in compressed form in both the transmitter and the receiver. Each frame of display data becomes a reference frame for the decoding of a subsequent frame.

  • Patent number: 10694200
    Abstract: A system and method for compressing video data. When a triplet of data values corresponding to a pixel differs sufficiently little from a previous, reference triplet, the difference is encoded using one of several encoding functions selected according to which of several criteria of similarity between the current triplet and the reference triplet is met. When none of the available criteria of similarity is met, the triplet is instead encoded using differential pulse code modulation with non-uniform quantization.
