Are the compression filters and algorithms proprietary?
A large class of the compression filters and algorithms are proprietary to LAFE Technologies. The company holds a number of patents on data (including images, audio and video) compression, encryption and accelerated data delivery across communications networks. Some of the image compression schemes use sophisticated models that are optimized for the human vision system. Since Miliki must also be able to read and write all the data types that are supported, the product evidently contains non-proprietary libraries that are utilized for some of the read/write purposes.
