Patent attributes
Methods, medium, and machines which compress, encode, enhance, transmit, decompress and display digital video images in real time. Real time compression is achieved by sub-sampling each frame of a video signal, matching the illumination intensity value representing each pixel with a line number, incrementing a repeat counter, and encoding a repeat data structure with the repeat counter and line number data structure with the line number forming a compressed stream of data. Real time transmission of video images is achieved due to high levels of effective compression. Real time decompression is achieve by decoding and decompressing the encoded data to display high quality images. High levels of effective compression also reduce the storage space requirement for recorded video.
