What is vectorization?

Last updated almost 4 years ago

We developed a video codec based on a technology called "Vector graphics". Vector graphics uses mathematical equations (rather than pixels) to show visual elements on a screen, and is already a standard technology for 2d images, especially within the graphics design world.

Because vector graphics are based on mathematical equations, they can be scaled up to infinite resolution with perfect visual quality, which is why vector graphics is so common in design and printing, where regular images would become blurry when printed on 30 meter banners.

Our codec extends the concept of vector graphics to video, using vector data to encode shapes and motion on the screen. For some kinds of video content, this is extremely data efficient, using up to 50 times less data than an equivalent high-definition video compressed with h264.

Our vectorization technology consists of 2 parts:
  • Software to play/render "vector" videos on apps & websites
  • Software to convert regular videos to our vector format
In the process of converting videos to our vector format, we can both significantly reduce file size, while also improving the visual quality.
