Comparison of Performance between LuraWave LWF
and JPEG or TIFF
|
|
|
LuraWave LWF is distinguished by significantly improved visual quality, especially at high compression rates,
compared to JPEG. This is made possible through the use of patented wavelet algorithms. LuraWave LWF
compressed images are displaying excellent visual quality even at very high compression rates ranging up to 1:200.
This results in compressed files of about one third the size at still improved visual quality
compared to JPEG.

Examples of Applications for LuraWave LWF
|
|
|
Reduction of data volume becomes increasingly important whenever images have to be transfered to and
stored on systems of limited hardware ressources. LuraWave LWF was specifically developed for use in modern
graphics applications and data bases for restricted groups of users. The proprietary file format offers
additional protection from third-party misuse.

-
X-Ray Diagnostics
eg. for intra- or internet-based medical networks supporting collaborative diagnoses.
LuraWave LWF is capable of particularly high compression rates for X-Ray images without noticeable
loss in visual quality.
