Euclid Discoveries

Euclid Discoveries is a privately held software development firm based in Concord, MA focused on next-generation video processing and compression technology. In order to address consumer demand for high quality video on any video-enabled device, the company developed Euclidvision, which is a proprietary technology which brings together and advances the fields of video compression, Computer Vision, and Pattern Recognition to increase video compression rates by an order of magnitude over the current standard - reducing file size dramatically and removing existing bandwidth constraints for the transmission of high quality video.

The company's object based compression “identifies individual objects shown in a video, then calculates the optimum level of compression for each of them.”ref|quote Further, the algorithm remembers the objects and stores them in memory a single time so that even if an object appears multiple times, it is saved once. Euclid Discoveries was recently granted Patent #7,158,680 ref|patent for “apparatus and method for processing video data.” This technology could greatly enhance broadband delivery over cable networks and the Internet as higher definition standards are being released.
