An epitome, in data processing, is a condensed digital representation of the essential statistical properties of ordered datasets such as matrices that represent images, audio signals, videos or genetic sequences.
As such, it can be used in tasks such as data mining, machine learning and signal processing.
Epitomes have also been used in video processing[2] to replace, remove or superresolve imagery.
Epitomes are also being investigated as tools for vaccine design.
