2K TicoRAW Encoder / Decoder for RAW CFA sensor data compression

Overview

Engineered at intoPIX, TicoRAW is an innovative, lossless quality, low-power, low-memory and line-based image processing and compression technology created to unleash image sensor dataflows.

TicoRAW is a perfect solution for augmented reality, automotive (ADAS), machine vision, professional and consumer cameras, drones or mobiles devices. The technology is extremely low-power and tiny in ASIC or FPGA, fast and powerful in CPU or GPU, and suitable for latency-critical environments.
Thanks to its innovative processing and coding, the full power of the image sensor is preserved while reducing the bandwidth and storage needs. It offers high image quality and the capability to manage high resolution, high frame rate and high dynamic range workflows. TicoRAW is the world’s first codec that can offer compression efficiency with such low complexity on bayer patterns.

Key Features
