Spire Global uses FAPEC technology

During the past few months, DAPCOM has worked with Spire to adapt its FAPEC data compression technology to their Radio Occultation (RO) satellite data. Our software engineers and data compression experts have crafted a data compression software tool to be deployed in Spire’s payloads on-orbit, achieving a remarkably high compression ratio on RO data. DAPCOM […]

FastQ Genome Compression

After a intensive R&D program and in collaboration with the Distributed Multimedia Applications Group from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, DAPCOM has presented a data compression prototype for genomic data, specifically for FastQ files. It reaches 3.5 compression ratios at very high speed (more than 130MB/s), enabling the use of the technology in near real-time or […]

DAPCOM participates in the IESE BTTG program

BTTG is an initiative launched by IESE MBA Students in order to create a platform bridging individuals from R&D labs, companies and educational institutions in Barcelona with the ultimate goal to generate cross-functional, fruitful and lasting interactions among them in an attempt to identify the process and mix of skillsets required to more successfully prototype […]

On-board Payload Data Compression Workshop (OBPDC)

DAPCOM has participated in the On-Board Payload Data Compression workshop (OBPDC) held in Venice last October 23rd + 24th. As usual, this fourth edition was very interesting and fruitful, as can be seen in the Programme. DAPCOM presented the results obtained with FAPEC and DWTFAPEC on a variety of test images. Most remarkably, we presented […]
