Abstract
A device implementing the subject high bit-depth graphics compression may include at least one processor configured to receive pixel data for a pixel block, obtain endpoints of a first bit length based on the pixel data in the pixel block, quantize the endpoints to a second bit length smaller than the first bit length, select the quantized endpoints for pixel values in the pixel block, determine a weight for each pixel of the pixel block in each of a plurality of planes corresponding to the endpoints selected for the pixel block, and generate a compressed data block representative of the pixel block based at least on the endpoints for the pixel block and the weight for each pixel of the pixel block in each of the plurality of planes corresponding to the endpoints. A method and computer program product implementing the subject high bit-depth graphics compression is also provided.
