Plextek announced enhancements to its image processing suite for developing mega-pixel video solutions for medical applications. According to the company,rnstandard techniques such as MPEG2 and H.264 fail to address the image compression requirements of medical applications, so Plextek has developed adaptive processing techniques that apply different levels of compression to different parts of an image based on specific parameters. Key information can be retained in high definition within an area of importance. Other image areas are then compressed to a lower definition. This retains the inherent benefits image compression brings by reducing the overall amount of data being handled whilst still retaining the key advantages of HD.
