Patent ID: 8358559

Claim:
An imaging device, comprising: a decorrelation circuit configured to receive first through K th initial imaging signals and to perform a decorrelation operation on the first through K th initial imaging signals, respectively, to generate first through K th decorrelated imaging signals; first through K th wavelet decomposition circuits configured to perform first through K th wavelet decomposition operations on the first through K th decorrelated imaging signals, respectively, to generate first through K th decomposed imaging signals; first through K th quantization circuits configured to perform first through K th quantization operations on the first through K th decomposed imaging signals, respectively, to generate first through K th quantized imaging signals; and a bit multiplexer configured to generate a compressed bit stream based on the first through K th quantized imaging signals; a data line configured to pass the compressed bit stream; and a decompressor module configured to convert the compressed bit stream into first through K th recovered imaging signals corresponding to the first through K th initial imaging signals, wherein K is an integer greater than 1.
