[comp.dsp] ICs for Image Compression?

mda@cam-orl.uucp (Mike Addlesee) (03/09/91)

    I am seeking information on any attempts, commercial and/or
research, to put
state of the art image compression algorithms onto silicon. Please
E-mail me if you 
have any such details. If there is sufficient response I shall post a
summary on this
board.

Aware, Inc, in Cambridge MA, is putting their wavelet compression
technology in silicon. They shown examples of 25:1 and 50:1 720x486 x
30 frame/sec compression at my seminar series. An intersting aspect on
their approach is to do this with 3D wavelets (ie time is explicitly
being a dimension compressed). Their number is
