Abstract: An error compensator for use in an image decoding system compensates a DC transform coefficient entailing a quantization error. The error compensator comprises an estimation unit for producing an estimate for a selected DC transform coefficient. The estimate is compared with a first and second values wherein the first value represents the difference value defined by subtracting a threshold value, i.e., a maximum quantization error from the DC transform coefficient and the second value represents the summation value defined by adding the maximum error to the DC transform coefficient and the threshold. If a first condition that the estimate be greater than or equal to the first value but smaller than a second value is satisfied, the estimate is selected. However, if the first condition is not satisfied, it is determined whether a second condition that the estimate be smaller than the first value is satisfied. When the second condition is not satisfied, the first value is selected; and otherwise, the second value is selected.

Abstract: The method involves copying a conditional code (CC) which is used during execution of a hardware-specific program code (PCU) on a source hardware (M1), into a program code (PCZ), preserved after transformation, for a different target hardware (M2) with a machine architecture which operates without conditional code. A memory area (REG) is provided on the target hardware, which receives a current value (CCW) of the copied conditional code in form of an associated bit pattern (BM). Each instruction (An) in the program code of the source hardware, which influences the value of the conditional code is copied into program code for the target hardware without use of branching instructions and with the help of an instruction (B1, B2) which generates a result value during program execution. An additional code (ZC1, ZC2, ZC3) is produced, which determines the bit pattern which corresponds to the value of the conditional code after completion of the instruction during run-time on the source hardware. The additional code is generated by applying a bit operation on a defined output bit pattern, whose effect depends on the result value generated by the instruction.
