Abstract

See full text

A new kind of Autosophy television is based on a new mathematical theory of 'learning' and a new information theory. Unlike in conventional television the transmission bandwidth depends only on the image 'content', such as 'novelty' and 'movement' within the images. Hardware parameter, such as: image size, resolution or scanning rates, become irrelevant. Television images are compared with image fragments stored in a special hyperspace tree library. The largest matching image fragments are encoded into digital 'superpixel' codes each of which may contain any size image portion. Only the moving portions in the images are selected for encoding and transmission. The new television is especially suitable for the new packet switching networks, such as ATM, Internet or the Information Superhighway. The transmission protocol can be independent of hardware standards to allow television technology to evolve into larger screens and better image resolution while maintaining a universal backward compatible transmission format.
