Abstract

A system and method are provided for compressing data utilizing multiple encoders on a single integrated circuit. Initially, data is received in a single integrated circuit. The data is then encoded utilizing a plurality of encoders incorporated on the single integrated circuit. Another single module system and method are provided for compressing data. In use, photons are received utilizing a single module. Thereafter, compressed data representative of the photons is outputted utilizing the single module.

Claims (16)

1 . A method for compressing data utilizing multiple encoders on a single integrated circuit, comprising:

receiving data in a single integrated circuit;

encoding the data utilizing a plurality of encoders incorporated on the single integrated circuit.

2 . The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the data is encoded utilizing multiple channels on the single integrated circuit.

3 . The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the data is encoded into a wavelet-based format.

4 . A single integrated circuit for compressing data, comprising:

a first encoder embodied on the single integrated circuit for encoding a first set of data; and

a second encoder embodied on the same single integrated circuit as the first encoder for encoding a second set of data.

5 . The single integrated circuit as recited in claim 4 , wherein the data is encoded utilizing multiple channels on the single integrated circuit.

6 . The single integrated circuit as recited in claim 4 , wherein the data is encoded into a wavelet-based format.

7 . A method for compressing data utilizing a single module, comprising:

receiving photons utilizing a single module; and

outputting compressed data representative of the photons utilizing the single module.

8 . The single module as recited in claim 7 , wherein the compressed data is encoded into a wavelet-based format.

9 . The single module as recited in claim 8 , wherein transform operations associated with the encoding are carried out in analog.

10 . The single module as recited in claim 7 , wherein the single module includes an imager.
