What Hacker News says

I'm confused by this line here: https://github.com/ross39/new_bloom_filter_repo/blob/4798d90... It seems like this would make the compression lossy and discard, e.g., transitions from #ffffff to #fffffa, and the line above it where the mean of pixel data is taken would discard, e.g., transitions from #ff0000 to #00ff00 regardless of the threshold used. Am I misunderstanding the role of that line of code? It doesn't seem like anything that is a 0 in the resulting mask would be encoded into the bloom filter.
In Lossless video compression using Bloom filters
Similar to other compression methods, it uses keyframes (which are saved frames that exist throughout the video) as the starting point, after which the next frame is a diff of that until you reach the next keyframe. It seems to generate keyframes when the compression drops below a certain level (at which point you might as well just store the compressed frame instead of the bloom bitmap). https://github.com/ross39/new_bloom_filter_repo/blob/4798d90...
