CONTEXT COMPRESSION
Made for Smart Cities | IOT | Robotics
What problem do we solve with Context AI compression?
By end of 2028, the world will have 3 billion communicating devices in the smart city, IOT and robotics industries. This number does not include autonomous vehicles, and the number of Internet-connected devices with sensors of all kinds will be even higher.
- Radio networks cannot be expanded indefinitely
- The load on the infrastructures from 3G to 5G is growing daily
- Radio cells can only be served best-effort
- The demand for the transmission of content information is growing
- The costs for 4G and 5G as well as for satellites increase with the number of simultaneously used devices
- Our industrial customers are asking for an efficient way to store and transmit images more cost-effectively
How does REBOTNIX solve these problems?
With context compression, we reduces energy consumption by compressing image based content faster, more securely and more cost-effectively over terrestrial or orbital communication paths to low-power terminals.
How it works?
Each visual object can then be given its own compression layer. Objects such as text and others that are relevant to the transmission of information, such as traffic signs or license plates, are encoded at a higher bit rate than objects that are not relevant, such as small objects in the background. Unlike a motion vector method, the object segmentation single encoding method achieves a higher compression rate.
In the default mode, the encoder works with a GPU or CPU. In the highest AI mode, a GPU is mandatory for encoding, but for decoding, we still can use CPU only for realtime applications.
What economic added value do we achieve with this?
- Low energy consumption for the transmission of visual information
- More capacity on devices with little storage capacity
- Higher runtimes for data acquisition
- Higher quality in the recordings
- Works on low-power computers between 5-15 watt
- Reduces the load on cloud and internet infrastructures as well as mobile networks
Patent cleared
For system integrators, it is important to use royalty-free technology without patent encumbrance. REBOTNIX takes care of verification and registration as well as accounting of all patents for its own modules.
Compatibility
During its development, a high value was placed on compatibility. We follow the AVIF standard for all compression mode. Thus, RB-Compress runs without a plugin on the latest browsers version, shown in the this overview. Firefox, Google Chrome or Safari on Desktop and mobile is supported.
Low power at every step
In addition to the technical challenges, at RB-Compress we have always focused on providing the encoder with the lowest power consumption while ensuring fast processing compared to the reference methods.
Fields of applications
- Smart City Applications
- Airports
- Security Applications
- IOT with visual cameras
- Monitoring car charging stations
- Digital twins on factory floors
System requirements
Context compression works on every platform and in every browser. We offer native encoders and decoders with hardware acceleration such as GPU and CPU optimisations.
