temporal compression

Temporal compression is a technique used to reduce the amount of data needed to represent a video or audio signal over time. Instead of recording every detail frame-by-frame, it analyzes the content to identify and preserve only the most important information, discarding or simplifying less noticeable parts. This allows the entire sequence to be stored or streamed efficiently without significantly losing quality. Think of it as summarizing a long video by focusing on key moments, making file sizes smaller and transmission faster while maintaining an acceptable viewing experience.
