DATA ENCODING AND DECODING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240305796 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 representing the difference between an image data sample and a predicted version of that sample.
- The method involves generating encoding parameters for the encoding process.
- The encoding step utilizes the encoding parameters to encode the image data samples.
- Residual data is generated to represent the difference between an image data sample and its predicted version.
- The encoding parameters are derived based on an estimate of the residual data for at least a subset of the image data samples.
Potential Applications: - This data encoding method can be applied in image compression algorithms. - It can be used in video streaming services to optimize data transmission. - The method can enhance data storage efficiency in image databases.
Problems Solved: - Efficient encoding of image data samples. - Reduction of data size while maintaining image quality. - Improved data transmission and storage processes for images.
Benefits: - Enhanced image compression capabilities. - Improved data transmission speeds. - Optimal data storage efficiency for image databases.
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Image Compression Technology for Data Storage and Transmission This technology can be utilized in various industries such as: - Media and entertainment for video streaming services. - Healthcare for medical imaging data storage. - E-commerce for image database management.
Questions about Data Encoding Method: 1. How does this data encoding method improve image compression efficiency? - This method generates residual data to represent the difference between image data samples and their predicted versions, leading to more efficient encoding processes.
2. What are the potential applications of this data encoding method beyond image compression? - This method can also be applied in video streaming services, medical imaging data storage, and image database management for various industries.
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.
