Abstract:
1. A method of arranging image data representing a motion picture sequence within a memory sub-system in an image data processing system, the method comprising using a decoder to dynamically select the arrangement of image data for successive pictures of said sequence in said memory sub-system according to at least one of: measured characteristics of said image data, measured characteristics of the performance of said processing system, and known characteristics of subsequent processing of said image data within said image processing system; wherein the measured characteristics of said image data includes at least one of: wherein the measured characteristics of the performance of said processing system includes at least one of: wherein the known characteristics of subsequent processing of said image data includes at least one of: wherein measured characteristics of the image data at one part of the sequence are used to predict characteristics of a subsequent portion of the sequence, and the memory arrangement is controlled according to measured characteristics of recently processed portions of the sequence.
