This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18680919 titled 'IMAGE ENCODING APPARATUS, IMAGE DECODING APPARATUS, IMAGE ENCODING METHOD, IMAGE DECODING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM

'''Simplified Explanation:'''
The patent application describes a method of dividing an image into rectangular regions and slices for processing in raster order.

* The image is divided into rectangular regions, each containing at least one block row.
* Rectangular slices are specified based on first and second information for processing the regions in a specific order.
* The number of blocks in each region determines the start position of coded data in the slice.
* A bitstream is generated with the necessary information and coded data multiplexed.

'''Key Features and Innovation:'''
* Division of image into rectangular regions and slices for efficient processing.
* Specific order of processing based on first and second information.
* Determination of start position of coded data based on number of blocks in each region.
* Multiplexing of information and coded data into a bitstream for transmission.

'''Potential Applications:'''
This technology can be applied in image processing, video compression, and data transmission systems.

'''Problems Solved:'''
* Efficient processing of images by dividing into manageable regions.
* Streamlining the order of processing for improved performance.
* Simplifying the coding process by determining start positions based on block numbers.

'''Benefits:'''
* Faster image processing and data transmission.
* Enhanced compression efficiency for videos.
* Improved overall performance of image processing systems.

'''Commercial Applications:'''
This technology can be utilized in digital cameras, video streaming services, and medical imaging devices for faster and more efficient data processing.

'''Prior Art:'''
Prior research in image processing and video compression techniques may provide insights into similar methods of dividing and processing images.

'''Frequently Updated Research:'''
Stay updated on advancements in image processing algorithms and video compression techniques to enhance the efficiency of this technology.

==Original Abstract Submitted==

An image is divided into rectangular regions each including at least one block row, and the image is divided into rectangular slices or slices to be processed in raster order. In a case where the image is divided into the rectangular slices, based on first information for specifying a rectangular region to be processed first and second information for specifying a rectangular region to be processed last, the rectangular regions in the rectangular slice is specified. Based on the number of blocks in a vertical direction in each of the specified rectangular regions, the number of pieces of information for specifying a start position of coded data of the block row in the rectangular slice is specified. A bitstream in which at least the pieces of information, the first and second information, and the coded data are multiplexed is generated.
