Lossless data-compression programs search through documents for redundant or repetitive data and then encode it. For example, a text document may contain 200 empty spaces, 100 instances of the ...

While running tests, Bühlmann found that a novel image compressed with Stable Diffusion looked subjectively better at higher compression ratios (smaller file size) than JPEG or WebP.

The result is a new data compression method that outperforms existing techniques, such as JPEG for images, and that could eventually be adopted for medical, scientific and video streaming ...

There are two categories of data compression. The first reduces the size of a single file to save storage space and transmit faster. The second is for storage and transmission convenience. The ...

Could Stable Diffusion have a future as a higher quality algorithm for lossy compression of images on the Internet and elsewhere? The method used by Bühlmann (for which there's a code sample ...

To handle this, spectral images frequently use high-precision formats like 16-bit or 32-bit floating-point numbers for each channel, enabling High Dynamic Range (HDR) data capture.
