Abstract

A contour-based image and movie representation has been developed that takes the pixel out of the picture. Contours are used, which are scale-free and can readily be rendered back to an image at a new resolution independent of the original. They are easy to rotate and zoom by fractional amounts. They can act as a universal intermediate during post-production. They provide a single delivery mechanism, whether to mobile phone, television screen, or cinema. They are future-proof, taking high-definition resolution and beyond in their stride. This is not a disruptive technology: Moving between pixels and contours can happen at any stage in the pipeline and does not need special cameras or displays.
