Invented by 1stWorks Chief Scientist Ratko Tomic, Quantized Indexing is the first practical form of data compression to apply the mathematical discipline of enumerative combinatorics to entropy coding and modeling, delivering demonstrably superior performance in both efficiency and speed over the best arithmetic coder alternatives currently available.
Better compression of texture by using secondary wavelet passes in high detail blocks -- Better compression of texture-type features by use of zerotree embedded vector codes -- Better compression overall by use of tuned arithmetic coders &uot;With patent protection, Finline also recognizes that new growth opportunities will be available through licensing of the technology to third parties.
