  • Maximum entropy based image compression and reconstruction process
    Patent number: H2179
    Abstract: A process is disclosed for compression and reconstruction of digital images taking advantage of information entropy properties to reconstruct image data from minimal information. The algorithm yields the possibility of achieving image compression factors of 10,000 to 100,000, thus decreasing the necessity of high bandwidth transmission modes for image data. The algorithm also has cryptographic properties which offer secure transmission of image data over non-secure data lines.
