TOP FIT DATA FOR AI

Most images today are processed with AI/ML, where differences in pixel values are critical and may be invisible to the human eye. ML model reliability depends on high-quality data, best achieved with raw images.
‍
Raw data’s size is a bottleneck for transmission speed, processing, storage and associated costs.

EXISTING SOLUTIONS

Image compression could tackle these, but, currently impose limitations:

Lossy
Lossless
Formats
JPEG2000, JPEG-LS, JPEG-XR
LZF, FLIF, LZ4
Compression ratio
High
Low
Fit for AI in critical applications
No
Yes
Issues
Artifacts in large datasets, compromised outcome validity
Not efficient for AI due to slow transmission speed

WHY RAW FOR AI

Preserves critical data information
Artifact-free
Pre-processing flexibility

Jetraw Core —The first high-ratio image compression with raw quality control

Jetraw Core is in-camera raw compression combining the size of lossy formats with the reliability and quality of lossless technologies.

It applies lossless compression to the signal component, following image preparation with lossy compression of the noise. This achieves the highest ratio and the highest quality output on the market.

HOW WE DO IT

Jetraw turns data into measurement by embedding a custom noise model 

based on the sensor’s physical properties. This enables image quality validation and optimization for AI/ML.
