Re: any link to papers describing BMF image compression algorithm ?



I'm trying to find any source of information about the algorithms used
by BMF V2.0 image compressor, but I can't find any.

Anyone has some links ?

Hi,

to my knowledge the algorithm used in BMF is undisclosed... seen the
works of the author it is probably PPM-based and makes used in filters
(they are options of the coder), but when I searched something about
it I was not able to find any information.

I agree, that this is about, what you can imply what's available in
the internet.
What about writing a mail to Shkarin, and asking him? :-)
You could also imply that he's relative open to share his
investigations.
More than you can hope for the case of RKIM, which has a similar
profile (PPMz).

So long,
Stefano
