Abstract

Method for storing a compressed digital image includes performing an artificial intelligence (“AI”) diagnostic test on the digital image; determining an uncompressed diagnostic result associated with the digital image based on the AI diagnostic test; generating one or more compressed digital images by compressing the digital image, each compressed digital image having a respective compression ratio; decompressing each compressed digital image to generate a respective decompressed digital image; performing the diagnostic test on each decompressed digital image; determining a decompressed diagnostic result associated with each decompressed digital image based on the respective diagnostic test; identifying one or more decompressed digital images having a respective decompressed diagnostic result that is the same as the uncompressed diagnostic result; selecting from the identified one or more decompressed digital images, the decompressed digital image associated with the highest compression ratio; and storing the compressed digital image associated with the selected decompressed digital image.

Dependent claims

A method of storing a compressed digital image, comprising:

receiving, at one or more computing devices, a digital image;
performing, at the one or more computing devices, an artificial intelligence (“AI”) diagnostic test on the digital image;
determining, at the one or more computing devices, an uncompressed diagnostic result associated with the digital image based on the AI diagnostic test;
generating, at the one or more computing devices, one or more compressed digital images by compressing the digital image, each compressed digital image having a respective compression ratio;
decompressing, at the one or more computing devices, each compressed digital image to generate a respective decompressed digital image;
performing, at the one or more computing devices, the AI diagnostic test on each decompressed digital image;
determining, at the one or more computing devices, a decompressed diagnostic result associated with each decompressed digital image based on the respective AI diagnostic test;
identifying, at the one or more computing devices, one or more decompressed digital images having a respective decompressed diagnostic result that is the same as the uncompressed diagnostic result;
selecting, at the one or more computing devices and from the identified one or more decompressed digital images, the decompressed digital image associated with the highest compression ratio;
and
storing, at the one or more computing devices, the compressed digital image associated with the selected decompressed digital image.
