Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product for compressing an image using similar images includes: receiving a first image; storing the first image on a storage server; comparing the first image to one or more stored intra-frames (I-Frames) to determine a similar I-Frame from the one or more stored I-Frames; in response to determining the similar I-Frame, determining that one or more stored predicted frames (P-Frames) reference the similar I-Frame; comparing the first image to the one or more stored P-Frames to determine a similar P-Frame; determining whether the first image meets a P-Frame threshold level for the similar P-Frame; in response to determining that the first image meets the P-Frame threshold level, generating a first P-Frame for the first image using data from the similar P-Frame and data from the similar I-Frame to compress storage space used by the first image on the storage server.
