Mirror Fractal Codec: Lossless Compression for Neuromorphic Event Camera Streams

Description

Mirror Fractal Codec (MFC) is a lossless, domain-specific compression codec for asynchronous event-camera streams.

  • 1.51 bits/event / 47.6× compression on the full N-MNIST benchmark (60,000 samples, bit-exact round-trip verified).
  • 7.8 bits/event / 9.2× on DSEC automotive data (640×480 sensor).
  • 0.55 ms per N-MNIST sample (WASM single-thread); <0.1 ms native.

Version 0.3.28 ships pre-built CPython 3.11 wheels for manylinux_2_34_x86_64, macOS arm64, and Windows amd64 on PyPI as mfc-codec, plus a WebAssembly build powering the browser demo at https://codec.mirrorfractal.com.

This Zenodo deposit archives the public Python/WASM distribution and the accompanying preprint. The Rust encoder sources remain private pending US Provisional Patent 64/034,974; the binary distributions on PyPI are licensed for evaluation and academic use.
