Abstract

Certain aspects relate to systems and techniques for compressing image data using mixed mode compression schemes. A mixed mode compression scheme can reduce the amount of data stored in a frame buffer to reduce power costs of an image display system. In some implementations, mixed mode compression can be suitable for compression of pixel blocks having one or two color channels exhibiting a relatively low variation in pixel intensity with the remaining channel or channels exhibiting a relatively high variation. The pixel values in each color channel of an RGB or YCCimage can be analyzed to determine how many channels are a smooth component and how many channels are a variant component, and mixed mode compression can be selected and implemented based on the color channel analysis to adaptively and individually compress the color channels.
