| Technical Details | The algorithm for lossy compression technique in WebP images is based on the structure found in the VP8 video format which uses the intra-frame coding mechanism. The RIFF (Resource Interchange File Format) is used as the container format for these files. The lossless compression of WebP comprises of advanced compression techniques like using dedicated codes to entropy channels of different colors. This technique exploits the 2D or the 2 Dimensional localities for referencing distances in a backward order and maintains a color cache that has all the colors that have been used recently. It comprises of complementary basic techniques like Color Indexing Transformation, Huffman coding and Dictionary coding. There is almost a 19% to 64% reduction in image size depending on the source image format and whether the image is being converted to a lossy or a lossless format in WebP. |
