Content-adaptive tiling solution via image similarity for efficient image compression
Abstract:
Techniques are provided herein for more efficiently storing images that have a common subject, such as product images that share the same product in the image. Each image undergoes an adaptive tiling procedure to split the image into a plurality of tiles, with each tile identifying a region of the image having pixels with the same content. The tiles across multiple images can then be clustered together and those tiles having identical content are removed. Once all duplicate tiles have been removed from the set of all tiles across the images, the tiles are once again clustered based on their encoding scheme and certain encoding parameters. Tiles within each cluster are compressed using the best compression technique for the tiles in each corresponding cluster. By removing duplicative tile content between numerous images of the same subject, the total amount of data that needs to be stored is reduced.
