Abstract:
An image compression method has at least the following steps: receiving source pixel data of a plurality of blocks of a frame; when a lossless compression mode is enabled for the frame, bypassing a source quantization operation and applying a lossless compression kernel to source pixel data of each of the blocks; and when a lossy compression mode is enabled for the frame, applying the source quantization operation to the source pixel data of each of the blocks to generate input pixel data of each of the blocks, and applying the lossless compression kernel to the input pixel data of each of the blocks. For example, the source quantization operation employs an adaptive quantization parameter for each of the blocks such that a size of compressed data of the frame generated under the lossy compression mode does not exceed a bit budget.
