Remote desktop protocol (RDP) Tile Image Classification for Improving Compression Efficiency and Quality

摘要

Systems, methods and computer readable media are disclosed for improving compression efficiency and quality in a remote session via tile image classification and variable encoding. A server determines a set of codecs that are shared by both the server and a corresponding client. Then, when it receives an image, it determines whether classification of the image is required. Where classification of the image is not required, the server sends the client the image, either uncompressed or compressed with a default codec and default fidelity. Where classification of the image is required, the server classifies the image (e.g. the image comprises either text or photograph), and based on that classification determines a codec with which to encode the image, and a fidelity to use on the encoding. The server performs that encoding with the codec and the fidelity, and then sends this encoded image to the client.
