  • A Practical Approach to Spatiotemporal Data Compression
    A Practical Approach to Spatiotemporal Data Compres- sion Niall H. Robinson1, Rachel Prudden1 & Alberto Arribas1 1Informatics Lab, Met Office, Exeter, UK. Datasets representing the world around us are becoming ever more unwieldy as data vol- umes grow. This is largely due to increased measurement and modelling resolution, but the problem is often exacerbated when data are stored at spuriously high precisions. In an effort to facilitate analysis of these datasets, computationally intensive calculations are increasingly being performed on specialised remote servers before the reduced data are transferred to the consumer. Due to bandwidth limitations, this often means data are displayed as simple 2D data visualisations, such as scatter plots or images. We present here a novel way to efficiently encode and transmit 4D data fields on-demand so that they can be locally visualised and interrogated. This nascent “4D video” format allows us to more flexibly move the bound- ary between data server and consumer client. However, it has applications beyond purely scientific visualisation, in the transmission of data to virtual and augmented reality. arXiv:1604.03688v2 [cs.MM] 27 Apr 2016 With the rise of high resolution environmental measurements and simulation, extremely large scientific datasets are becoming increasingly ubiquitous. The scientific community is in the pro- cess of learning how to efficiently make use of these unwieldy datasets. Increasingly, people are interacting with this data via relatively thin clients, with data analysis and storage being managed by a remote server. The web browser is emerging as a useful interface which allows intensive 1 operations to be performed on a remote bespoke analysis server, but with the resultant information visualised and interrogated locally on the client1, 2.

  • (A/V Codecs) REDCODE RAW (.R3D) ARRIRAW
    What is a Codec? Codec is a portmanteau of either "Compressor-Decompressor" or "Coder-Decoder," which describes a device or program capable of performing transformations on a data stream or signal. Codecs encode a stream or signal for transmission, storage or encryption and decode it for viewing or editing. Codecs are often used in videoconferencing and streaming media solutions. A video codec converts analog video signals from a video camera into digital signals for transmission. It then converts the digital signals back to analog for display. An audio codec converts analog audio signals from a microphone into digital signals for transmission. It then converts the digital signals back to analog for playing. The raw encoded form of audio and video data is often called essence, to distinguish it from the metadata information that together make up the information content of the stream and any "wrapper" data that is then added to aid access to or improve the robustness of the stream. Most codecs are lossy, in order to get a reasonably small file size. There are lossless codecs as well, but for most purposes the almost imperceptible increase in quality is not worth the considerable increase in data size. The main exception is if the data will undergo more processing in the future, in which case the repeated lossy encoding would damage the eventual quality too much. Many multimedia data streams need to contain both audio and video data, and often some form of metadata that permits synchronization of the audio and video. Each of these three streams may be handled by different programs, processes, or hardware; but for the multimedia data stream to be useful in stored or transmitted form, they must be encapsulated together in a container format.

Cooke: Data compression using pre-generated dictionaries Data compression using pre-generated dictionaries ABSTRACT A file is compressed by replacing its characters by codes that are dependent on the statistics of the characters. The character-to-code table, known as the dictionary, is typically incorporated into the compressed file. Popular compression schemes reach theoretical compression limit only asymptotically. Small files or files without much intra-file redundancy, either compress poorly or not at all. This disclosure describes techniques that achieve superior compression, even for small files or files without much intra-file redundancy, by independently maintaining the dictionary at the transmitting and receiving ends of a file transmission, such that the dictionary does not need to be incorporated into the compressed file.
