COMPATIBLE COMPRESSION FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF IMAGE VIEWS: abstract simplified (17655358)

Compatible Compression for Different Types of Image Views

This disclosure presents systems, devices, apparatus, and methods for achieving compatible compression for various types of image views. A graphics processor is utilized to perform these operations.

Selection of First Common Format The graphics processor first selects a common format from a range of available common formats for at least one image. This selection is based on either application data or first metadata associated with the image. The purpose of this selection is to determine the most suitable format for encoding the image.

Encoding Based on First Common Format Once the first common format is determined, the graphics processor proceeds to encode the image using this format. By doing so, the image is compressed in a manner that is compatible with the selected format.

Selection of Second Common Format Next, the graphics processor selects a second common format for the same image. This selection is based on second metadata associated with the image. It is worth noting that the second common format may be identical to the first common format.

Decoding Based on Second Common Format Finally, the graphics processor decodes the image using the selected second common format. This decoding process ensures that the image is restored to its original form, while still maintaining compatibility with the chosen format.

In summary, this disclosure introduces a method for achieving compatible compression for different types of image views. By selecting appropriate common formats and utilizing a graphics processor for encoding and decoding, images can be efficiently compressed and restored without sacrificing compatibility.
