Abstract
Systems and methods are described herein for implementing a hybrid codec to compress and decompress image data using both lossy and lossless compression. In one example encoding process, it may be determined whether a first block of pixels of a frame of image data contains an edge. A type of compression by which to encode the first block may be selected based on that determination. The first block may be compressed using the selected type of compression. At least one second value associated with the first block of pixels may be set to indicate at least oof the compressed value or the type of compression used to compress the first block.
