Claim 8:
9. A system comprising:
a memory; and
a processor, coupled to the memory, to perform operations comprising:
determining intermediate pixels for an image;
associating each location of the image with a block of a plurality of blocks of a first size and a block a plurality of blocks of a second size;
determining, in parallel, using the intermediate pixels, for each block of the first size and for each block of the second size, a first cost for a first mode and a second cost for a second mode;
selecting, for each location of the image, i) a final mode from at least the first mode and the second mode and ii) a final block size from at least the first size and the second size, using the first cost and the second cost for each of a respective block of the first size and a respective block of the second size associated with a corresponding location;
determining final pixels based on the selected final mode and the selected final block size for each location of the image; and
obtaining, based on the final pixels, a representation of the image.
