Abstract
The present disclosure relates generally to a system and method for file compression. More specifically, the disclosure introduces to a method for file compression wherein a group of files is identified by comparing a plurality of similarity characteristics. The group of files may then be compressed relative to at least one base file to improve compression efficiency.
Claims14
A method for compression of a group of images comprising:
- identifying at least one base image among a group of images, the at least one base image corresponding to at least one common feature of the group of images, wherein the at least one base image comprises a plurality of base images being related by a plurality of common features;
- defining each image of the group of images as a compressed image relative to the at least one base image based on the at least one common feature of the image of the group of images;
- generating image compression data comprising a relationship of each image of the group of images to the at least one base image;
- and
- storing each compressed image of the group of images and the image compression data.

A system for compression among a set of images comprising:
- a memory unit;
- a processor operably coupled to the memory unit, the processor comprising at least one module in response to a power state configured to:
- search a plurality of images and identify a group of images corresponding to at least one similarity characteristic;
- identify a base image of the group of images corresponding to at least one common feature of the group of images;
- compare each image of the group of images to the at least one base image;
- and
- define each image of the group of images as a compressed image relative to the at least one base image based on the at least one common feature, wherein at least one recurring feature between each image of the group of images and the at least on base image is compressed.
