Methods for lossless argb (alpha, red, green, blue) compression based on intra-block predictions

Abstract

A method for lossless ARGB (Alpha, Red, Green, Blue) compression based on an intra-block prediction is provided. The method is executed by a processor, and the method comprises for an input image block under a processing channel, executing the following operations until all input image blocks are encoded: obtaining a predicted value of the input image block under a current processing channel based on the input image block under the current processing channel by the intra-block prediction; determining predicted residuals of the input image block under the current processing channel based on the predicted value and an original pixel value; inputting the predicted residuals into a residual encoder for encoding to obtain a residual stream of the input image block under the current processing channel; and storing residual streams of all input image blocks of all processing channels as a compressed file in a storage file.
