- vanderZwan 9y agoErr... FLIF is intended for lossless compression, but can be lossy (it doesn't perform as well as intentionally lossy codecs, although that might also be a matter of optimising for it). However, it also has a kind of adaptive ML-ish approach so it might be technically similar. > FLIF is based on MANIAC compression. MANIAC (Meta-Adaptive Near-zero Integer Arithmetic Coding) is an algorithm for entropy coding developed by Jon Sneyers and Pieter Wuille. It is a variant of CABAC (context-adaptive binary arithmetic coding), where instead of using a multi-dimensional array of quantized local image information, the contexts are nodes of decision trees which are dynamically learned at encode time. This means a much more image-specific context model can be used, resulting in better compression. http://flif.info/ http://flif.info/
