Abstract:
A method of adjusting resolution of digital data having a first resolution, the method comprising:extracting a first portion having a length of a first predetermined number of least significant bits from a first component of the digital data, the first component having a primary state, the predetermined number being based upon a desired level of resolution adjustment of the digital data; receiving a second component of non-ordered digital data having a length of the first predetermined number of least significant bits; performing a first logic operation using the first portion and the second component thereby deriving a third component having a length of the first predetermined number of least significant bits; and altering the first component of the digital data using the third component whereby the primary state of the first component is adjusted to a secondary state and as a result of the altering the resolution of digital data is adjusted to a second resolution that is different from the first resolution.
