Beamr and Intempora to Bring Real-Time ML-Safe Lossless Compression to RTMaps
Beamr and Intempora add real-time ML-Safe lossless and content-adaptive compression options to RTMaps, targeting massive autonomous vehicle video datasets.
Rhea-AI Summary
Beamr Imaging (BMR) and Intempora, a dSPACE company, will demonstrate ML-Safe lossless video compression integrated with RTMaps for autonomous vehicle and ADAS development. The solution compresses 12-bit Bayer camera output in real time on the GPU in the test vehicle’s data logger, reducing video data at the point of capture with zero stated data loss.
Initial Beamr testing on recordings from eight 8-megapixel cameras showed a 47% reduction in file size, nearly doubling per-vehicle capture capacity and accelerating transfers from vehicle to cloud. RTMaps users will have two compression modes across their pipeline: ML-Safe lossless for bit-exact data, and content-adaptive compression that reduces video data load by up to 50% while preserving ML model accuracy. The joint demonstrations will take place at AutoSens Europe in Barcelona, September 22–24 (stand 131), and at the dSPACE User Conference in Santa Clara, California, on September 23.

Autonomous vehicle and ADAS teams using RTMaps will get two compression modes to apply across their pipeline - lossless and content-adaptive.

Herzliya, Israel, Sept. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beamr Imaging Ltd. (Nasdaq: BMR), a leader in video optimization technology and solutions, and Intempora, a dSPACE company and pioneer in advanced software solutions for autonomous driving, today announced that the companies will demonstrate Beamr’s ML-Safe lossless compression for RTMaps - reducing video data at the point of capture in the test vehicle, in real time, with zero data loss.
The demonstration will be presented at AutoSens Europe, September 22–24 (stand 131), and at the dSPACE User Conference on September 23.
Autonomous vehicle (AV) teams produce massive video datasets. That volume strains every stage of development. It starts at capture in the test vehicle’s data logger, with recordings of tens of terabytes in one shift; grows as data moves to the cloud and data center; and grows again with simulation and training, where teams add synthetic data to what they recorded.
Beamr demonstrates lossless compression for 12-bit Bayer - the test vehicle camera's raw output. Until now, the encoder in the test vehicle did not accept the 12-bit Bayer format, leaving teams to store it as heavy raw files or discard data they may later need. Beamr’s lossless video data compression runs in real time on the GPU already in the test vehicle’s data logger. Initial Beamr testing showed a
ML-Safe lossless compression joins Beamr’s content-adaptive compression, giving RTMaps users two modes to apply across their pipeline. Content-adaptive compression reduces video data load by up to
"The volume of sensor and video data our users move through RTMaps, and then store and manage in IVS (Intempora Validation Suite), keeps growing. Coping with this volume is one of the hardest parts of AV development," said Nicolas Du Lac, CEO of Intempora. "Compression is essential to keep that data workable, and together with Beamr we are demonstrating it in two modes - lossy when a smaller file with preserved ML accuracy aligns with their needs, and lossless when the data has to stay bit-exact."
"The volume of high-resolution camera data is one of the biggest challenges our customers face in data logging and data-driven development," said Peter Ngure, Product Manager at dSPACE. “Efficient compression at the point of capture, without compromising data integrity, is an important building block. We welcome Intempora's collaboration with technology partners like Beamr, giving RTMaps users more options to manage their data across the toolchain."
"AV and ADAS teams see value with compression that matches what each development stage needs. Beamr’s ML-Safe solution lets them make this decision with confidence,” said Haggai Barel, Beamr COO. "Teams can already apply lossy content-adaptive compression that reduces data held in the cloud and the datasets that feed simulation and training; and now we are demonstrating lossless compression that keeps data bit-exact where it is captured in the data logger."

FAQ
AI-generated questions and answers. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.
What is ML-Safe lossless compression in the Beamr–Intempora RTMaps integration?
ML-Safe lossless compression is a mode Beamr is demonstrating for RTMaps that reduces video data in real time at the point of capture in the test vehicle while, in the company’s words, maintaining zero data loss. It is designed so that compressed data remains bit-exact, matching the original camera output used in autonomous vehicle and ADAS development workflows.
How does the new compression handle 12-bit Bayer camera output?
The demonstration applies Beamr’s lossless compression to 12-bit Bayer, which is the raw output from the test vehicle camera. Previously, the encoder in the test vehicle did not accept the 12-bit Bayer format, so teams either stored heavy raw files or discarded data. With this approach, the 12-bit Bayer stream is compressed in real time on the GPU already present in the test vehicle’s data logger.
What compression modes will RTMaps users be able to apply across their pipeline?
RTMaps users will have access to two modes: an ML-Safe lossless mode for situations that require bit-exact data, and a content-adaptive mode that reduces video data load by up to 50% while, as the company states, preserving ML model accuracy. Teams can choose the mode that aligns with the needs of each development stage, such as data logging, storage, simulation, or training.
Where and when will Beamr and Intempora demonstrate the ML-Safe compression for RTMaps?
The demonstration will be presented at AutoSens Europe in Barcelona from September 22–24 at stand 131, and at the dSPACE User Conference, West Coast, in Santa Clara, California, on September 23. The companies invite interested teams to join these events to see the compression in action.
How can teams try ML-Safe compression on their own video data?
Teams are invited to test ML-Safe compression on their own video data by visiting beamr.com/lossless, or by joining the demonstrations at AutoSens Europe and the dSPACE User Conference on the dates and locations described.
