The discrete cosine transform (DCT) remains a cornerstone of modern image and video compression techniques, enabling the decomposition of visual data into frequency components that can be efficiently ...

In a nutshell: Stable Diffusion is a phenomenal example of how much a picture is worth more than a thousand words. In fact, by cutting the image-generation text prompt altogether, the visual AI could ...

The Google Research team developed TurboQuant to tackle bottlenecks in AI systems by using "extreme compression".

Last week, Swiss software engineer Matthias Bühlmann discovered that the popular image synthesis model Stable Diffusion could compress existing bitmapped images with fewer visual artifacts than JPEG ...

Given the image on the left, two study participants made the reconstruction on the right. People preferred their reconstruction to the image at the center, a highly compressed version of the original ...

Bandwidth has a knack for being late to the party. Back when the internet was still a research project at the Department of Defense, we needed floppy disks to make file sharing a reality between ...
