Abstract:
1. A method for decoding a digital representation of an image, comprising: reading information of a bit length between coefficients of adjacent data units, a present data unit, and a next data unit, the information being read from a block information table associated with the digital representation of the image using a processor; skipping coefficients in the present data unit by using the information of the bit length between coefficients of the adjacent data units from the block information table to find the start of the next data unit using the processor; repeating the acts of reading and skipping using the processor, wherein the adjacent data units are a new pair of adjacent data units; accessing and decoding using the processor a specified number of non-zeroth order coefficients of the next data unit in the digital representation of the image when the start of the next data unit has been found; and repeating the accessing in connection with repeating the reading and skipping.
