Scalado Launches Super Image Encoding and Decoding Technology for Mobile Platforms

Scalado Co., Ltd. recently introduced the company's series of image processing technologies. The industry's "Super Technology" codec technology can compress and amplify digital images on devices at 10x speeds. It is suitable for all kinds of mainstream embedded platforms. And it can run on a very low profile mobile device with minimal memory and CPU resources. The company attaches great importance to the Chinese market and hopes to launch in-depth cooperation with China's mobile phone, MID, navigation equipment, media players and digital photo frame manufacturers.

Founded in 2000, Scalado specializes in the development of compressed image processing technology and content management technology. At present, it has launched three application technologies: RAJPEG technology, SpeedTags technology and SpeedView technology. The company has launched a series of very interesting application products in recent years. And cooperated with world-class manufacturers in the fields of image sensors, mobile devices and mobile communication operation services.

The uniqueness of the company's technology lies in the ability to search for all digital images in a device with limited resources on the system platform or with minimal resource consumption, and compress them into a small icon on the desktop. At this time, a digital image is one or a few pixels of the entire icon, and the user can classify and manage the images according to various topics such as time, place, person, and main color.

When users need to browse these pictures, they only need to continuously perform the corresponding enlargement operation, so that the corresponding image arrangement structure, related images or any digital image can be enlarged very quickly, and the low system resources are kept low. Occupied state; At the same time, it can also search for corresponding pictures through various themes, and quickly realize personalized and artistic image processing such as mirroring and panorama.

"From the time we were founded, we have been focusing on optimizing the processing of compressed images. We have found that in many application scenarios, users do not need to decode an image completely, and the actual size of many images is much larger than the display screen of portable devices; therefore From the outset, we will focus on how to efficiently and quickly present images that users want, while managing, viewing and applying these images more effectively.” Scalado Co-Founder, Vice President, Business Development and Chief Marketing Officer Fadi Mr. Abbas said.

The software can search and manage tens of thousands of pictures on mobile devices, and at the same time, it can quickly restore pictures from the state of a few pixels in size to the finest details of high-definition pictures. This innovation has changed the media characteristics and entertainment features of mobile devices and has therefore attracted the attention of many world-class manufacturers. Sony Ericsson introduced the company’s panoramic image auto-generation technology. Nokia has collaborated with Scalado on its N-series phones. Samsung, LG, HTC and Moto have adopted Scalado’s image processing technology on their mobile platforms; their Chinese customers Including OPPO and so on.

One of the key technologies supporting these applications is Scalado's patented "dynamic acquisition of JEPG technology" (RAJPEG, Random Access JPEG), which is a JPEG codec enhancement technology that can skillfully reduce memory requirements and CPU load. The principle of RAJPEG technology is based on JPEG is a complex compression format, usually need to fully extract it to browse or process pictures. Scalado RAJPEG technology can quickly decode any position of an image of any size while maintaining the compression format and status of the image.

RAJPEG ensures that you can browse and process any portion of a JPEG image without having to decode unnecessary information in the image; it also achieves a 20-fold reduction in the total demand for system resources, such as memory, and occupancy, as well as the speed of image processing. Increased 10 times. All operations can be performed on the display of the mobile phone in real time until the user is satisfied and wants to save the complete picture.

“With the wide rise of portable devices and ubiquitous applications, it is necessary to optimize various image compression technologies under the premise of limited resources; while the processing frequency of Scalado’s earliest processing platforms is only 100M, it has always insisted on the development of resources. It takes up the least image processing technology,” Mr. Abbas told Huaxing Wanbang analysts. “We started working with companies from Sybian, Microsoft, and some Linux operating system platforms, and we also developed RAJPEG technology in cooperation with main chip manufacturers such as Qualcomm and MediaTek.”

Scalado's RAJPEG technology creates "image intelligence" to ensure superb performance by analyzing the details of compressed JPEG images in real time. The key to this is the rapid analysis of image technology. For this reason, Scalado has developed its SpeedTags technology. The principle of this technology is to allow the JPEG image encoder to do detailed capture and analysis while generating pictures, so that subsequent operations and applications can be greatly accelerated. SpeedTags technology makes real-time processing of batch images possible while also greatly optimizing the quality of captured images. If the image displayed by the viewfinder is different from the JPEG image captured when the shutter is pressed, the SpeedTags technology enables the viewfinder to be based on the actual JPEG image, eliminating all of the delays, such as the shutter/display delay when taking an image.

"Zero delay technology is a key technology for realizing high quality when capturing images. Apart from realizing true WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) and supporting immediate parallel processing when shooting, you can also perform series of moving parts in the lens under the same background conditions. Capture and automatically select the best overall photo,” said Mr Abbas. “As with fast bursts, this structural design can store a series of pictures in the background, including those taken before and after the actual capture, for the device and the user to choose.” Just as the camera resolution of mobile phones is short With a short period of seven years, it has grown from hundreds of thousands of pixels to ten million pixels. The ever-increasing picture size and total pixels have brought new challenges to the rapid browsing and enlargement of digital images. Scalado developed its SpeedView technology for this purpose. The technique's principle packs all the relevant information about a picture into a small container object, thus ensuring faster decoding of the picture. With SpeedView technology, manufacturers can develop a variety of applications to quickly browse, view, zoom, and move pictures on mobile devices.

SpeedView significantly reduces application development time and greatly enhances the user's viewing experience, enabling end users to browse photos in albums very quickly as full-screen images or thumbnails, and also adds instant zoom and pan functionality, so you No need to wait to see the photo details. At the same time, based on this related information packaging and technology, new applications such as face recognition can be developed.

“The combination of SpeedView and the previous two technologies can not only quickly zoom in and out of photos, but also support more innovative applications in the fields of digital image management and browsing. For example, only one photo can be used to search the entire device or even the entire network. Similar photos on it," Abbas added. "In addition, it can also be widely used in face recognition, rapid navigation, surveying and mapping, and operational service innovations, etc., and all of these can be implemented on mobile platforms with several hundred megahertz."
