Claim One:
1. One or more computer-readable media having computer-useable instructions embodied thereon to perform a method for reconstructing an image, said method comprising: accessing a compressed bitstream that defines a spatial partitioning for said image, wherein said spatial partitioning divides said image into one or more independently decodable regions; decoding a portion of said compressed bitstream that is associated with a first region selected from said one or more independently decodable regions, wherein said decoding yields a plurality of transform coefficients; obtaining a plurality of additional transform coefficients by decoding additional data from said compressed bitstream, wherein said additional data is associated with one or more areas of said image that are adjacent to said first region; and utilizing at least a portion of said plurality of transform coefficients and at least a portion of said plurality of additional transform coefficients to reconstruct a portion of said image associated with said first region.
