Abstract:
A method of decoding a set of compressed data representing an original image including a plurality of rows of pixels into an image of pixels, comprising, accessing the set of compressed data to locate a row pointer, each row pointer in the compressed data pointing to a set of source data within the set of compressed data, the set of source data representing at least part of a row of pixels in the original image data, determining rows of pixels to be decoded into the image, and for each row of pixels determined, decoding the compressed data into a representation of the original image by locating the row pointer to the set of source data, locating the set of source data pointed to by the row pointer, determining a destination memory location corresponding to said row of pixels to be decoded, decoding the set of source data into actual pixel data, and writing the actual pixel data into the determined destination memory location.
