Title:

    PACKMAN: Texture Compression for Mobile Phones

Presenter(s)/Author(s):



Abstract:


    We present a new lossy texture compression (TC) scheme, targeted for mobile devices, which compresses 2 × 4 pixel blocks into 32 bits. Compared to our POOMA TC work [Akenine-Moller and ̈ Strom 2003], peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) is improved by 0.6 ̈ dB on average, the bit rate is reduced from 5.33 bits per pixel (bpp) to 4 bpp, and we avoid 2×3 blocks that are awkward for hardware implementation.
