DATA ENCODING AND DECODING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18573702 titled 'DATA ENCODING AND DECODING
The abstract of this patent application describes a data encoding method that involves generating encoding parameters, communicating them for decoding, and encoding image data samples by generating residual data based on the difference between the sample and a predicted version.
- The method involves generating encoding parameters for use in the encoding process.
- The encoding step utilizes the generated encoding parameters to encode the image data samples.
- The generating step includes deriving an estimate of the residual data for a subset of the image data samples.
- The encoding parameters are generated based on the derived estimate of the residual data.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in image and video compression algorithms. - It can be used in data transmission systems to efficiently encode and decode image data.
Problems Solved: - Efficient encoding of image data samples. - Reduction of data size for storage and transmission purposes.
Benefits: - Improved compression efficiency. - Enhanced data transmission speeds. - Reduced storage requirements for image data.
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Image Compression Technology for Data Transmission Systems This technology can be utilized in video streaming services, cloud storage platforms, and digital imaging devices to optimize data compression and transmission processes, leading to faster and more efficient data transfer.
Questions about Data Encoding Method: 1. How does this data encoding method improve image compression efficiency? - This method improves compression efficiency by generating encoding parameters based on estimates of residual data, allowing for more accurate encoding of image data samples.
2. What are the potential applications of this technology beyond image compression? - This technology can also be applied in data transmission systems to enhance the efficiency of encoding and decoding processes for various types of data, not just image data.
Original Abstract Submitted
A data encoding method comprises generating one or more encoding parameters; communicating the one or more encoding parameters for use by a decoding process; and encoding data items representing image data samples of an image by generating residual data indicative of a difference between an image data sample and a predicted version of that image data sample, the encoding step performing the encoding in dependence upon the one or more encoding parameters generated by the generating step; in which the generating step comprises deriving an estimate of the residual data in respect of at least a subset of the image data samples and generating the one or more encoding parameters in dependence upon the derived estimate.
