TABLE 5.

Comparison of multiple compression methods on four of the videos shown in the main text. The left and right numbers match those in TABLE 1. Bzip2 and lossless JPEG2000 compression on the original file sequence were usually worse and never much better than lossless H.264. Lossless JPEG2000 and Bzip2 on the filtered image set were always worse than lossless H.264.

	Techniques applied with our approach			Techniques applied without our approach

Bead 500nm	20%	21%	23%	31%	29%	28%
Brightfield 1	44%	49%	46%	47 %	51%	47%
