VIM
is based on mathematical equations (vectors) that represent
photo-realistic still images in the same quality of
JPEG or BMP. Each vector in VIM carries both shape and
color information. VIM synthetic video clips are made
by moving the position of the vectors in space.
VIM clips are extremely light weight (up to 100 times
better than MPEG or H/263) thus suitable for delivery
on very limited bandwidth channels. Streaming of VIM
clips requires 1Kbit /second for the visual information.
VIM synthesized texture stream is standardized within
MPEG-4 (ISO 14496 part 19)
