Neuronal Communication Process Opens New Directions In Image And Video Compression Systems

The 3D ultra-high-resolution world that is captured by the visual system is sensed, processed and transferred through a dense network of tiny cells, called neurons. An understanding of neuronal communication has the potential to open new horizons for the development of ground-breaking image and video compression systems. A recently proposed neuro-inspired compression system promises to change the framework of the current state-of-the-art compression algorithms.
