Euclid Discoveries is bringing the benefits of advanced video compression technology to today's video delivery infrastructure.
See the compression benefits Euclid's technology is providing in this demonstration video. Our engineers use this side by side "mirror" display to better compare the visual quality of two compression technologies on the same video. The EuclidVision encoding in this demonstration is on the left and H.264 is on the right. As you can see, Euclid delivers compression improvements with no loss in visual quality.
Video demand continues to grow and video file sizes continue to expand (from High Definition to Ultra High Definition resolutions and beyond). The explosion of video consumption is driving the need for a new means of achieving additional compression without losing visual quality.
Euclid Discoveries is a video technology development company focused on the delivery of HD and high motion video over constrained networks.
Euclid is tackling this video processing challenge and over the past 12 years has invented an innovative technology that delivers significant benefits in video compression, distribution, search, and storage. This technology is show-cased in the following:
EVC: Standards-Compliant Processing
EVC, Euclid’s standards-compliant video processing technology, delivers improved compressed streams that are compatible with existing decoders (MPEG-2 and H.264). Our technology applies several techniques to improve signal prediction over standard block-based motion estimation which can be applied to any MPEG codec.
EVP: Premium Video Processing
EVP, Euclid’s video processing technology with a full complement of higher-level modeling capabilities, delivers additional compression gains and includes an enhanced, proprietary decoder.
Smart Model Libraries
The future of EuclidVision processing combines cloud-based architecture with Smart Model Libraries that can be used across multiple videos to deliver additional processing gains.
EuclidVision: A New Approach for Today’s Challenges – and Tomorrow’s
Euclid’s technology, called EuclidVision, uses features and objects to process video. It is a suite of tools, algorithms and processing pipelines that draws on Computer Vision, Image Understanding, Pattern Recognition, and Structure from Motion algorithms and modeling techniques to provide higher video compression without loss in visual quality.
EuclidVision goes beyond the block processing methodology of H.264 and HEVC, by identifying and cataloging features and objects in video. Its processing algorithms prioritize features and objects according to several criteria, including bandwidth utilization, redundancy (repetition within the video) and similarity to certain types of features, e.g. faces.
The addition of this higher level modeling will achieve the next big leap in compression.
Euclid is delivering compression benefits to today’s codecs, while continuing to define the
future of high motion, high definition video compression. Come discover the immediate and developing benefits of EuclidVision.
