Patent ID: 8582640

Claim:
A computerized method comprising: selecting, by an encoding device, a first set of multiple predictors for a single reference unit of correlated data, wherein the single reference unit is selected from data from a camera and the predictors for the single reference unit are selected from data from a neighboring camera; determining a sub-codebook in which each of the first set of multiple predictors decodes to the single reference unit; transmitting an identifier for the sub-codebook to decode the single reference unit from one of the predictors in the first set of multiple predictors, wherein only one of the predictors in the first set of multiple predictors is needed to correctly decode the single reference unit; determining that none of the predictors in the first set of multiple predictors was received; and transmitting a supplemental identifier for a sub-codebook in which each of a second set of multiple predictors decodes to the single reference unit, wherein the second set of multiple predictors includes the first set of multiple predictors and includes additional predictors not present in the first set and wherein only one of the predictors in the second set of multiple predictors is needed to correctly decode the single reference unit.
