Title: Image data decompression
Inventor: XILE YANG
IPC: H04N19/90
Filed: 2020-03-26
Abstract: Decompressing a compressed block of image data using a multi-level difference table comprising a plurality of entries for each level. An origin or base value (e.g. approximating a minimum pixel value in the block) and a level for the block of image data are determined using data representing the origin 602 and level 604 from the compressed block of data. For each image element value in the block of image data a respective entry 606 from the compressed block of data is used to identify a difference value in the multi-level look-up table at the identified level. The image element value is determined using: (i) the origin or base value, and (ii) the identified difference value. In embodiments, to encode a 2x2 block of 8-bit data elements, the origin is encoded using 5 bits, the level is encoded using 3 bits, and pixel or sample difference data is encoded using 2 bits per sample. Preferably the compressed data has a header that identifies a lossy or lossless mode and, if the mode is lossy, then the multi-level table method is used; otherwise a lossless encoding scheme is used. An RGB colour image may be encoded by encoding each channel separately.
