Abstract
Computer processor hardware receives image data specifying element settings for each image of multiple original images in a sequence. The computer processor hardware analyzes the element settings across the multiple original images. The computer processor hardware then utilizes the element settings of the multiple original images in the sequence to produce first encoded image data specifying a set of common image element settings, the set of common image element settings being a baseline to substantially reproduce each of the original images in the sequence.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- receiving first encoded image data derived from multiple original images in a sequence, the first encoded image data specifying settings for a baseline for reproducing the sequence, wherein the multiple original images are residual images representing adjustments to respective preliminary images to generate corresponding reconstructed images, the preliminary images derived from an upsampling operation performed on respective representations of the preliminary images at a lower level of quality;
- receiving second encoded image data specifying further adjustments;
- and
- combining the baseline and the second encoded image data to reconstruct an image in the sequence.
A system comprising:
- computer processor hardware;
- a repository to store instructions associated with an application executed by the computer processor hardware;
- and
- an interconnect coupling the computer processor hardware and the repository, the computer processor hardware executing the instructions to:
- receive first encoded image data derived from multiple original images in a sequence, the first encoded image data specifying settings for a baseline for reproducing the sequence, wherein the multiple original images are residual images representing adjustments to respective preliminary images to generate corresponding reconstructed images, the preliminary images derived from an upsampling operation performed on respective representations of the preliminary images at a lower level of quality;
- receive second encoded image data specifying further adjustments;
- and
- combine the baseline and the second encoded image data to reconstruct an image in the sequence.
Computer-readable storage hardware having instructions stored thereon, the instructions, when carried out by a processing device, causing the processing device to perform operations of:
- receiving first encoded image data derived from multiple original images in a sequence, the first encoded image data specifying settings for a baseline for reproducing the sequence, wherein the multiple original images are residual images representing adjustments to respective preliminary images to generate corresponding reconstructed images, the preliminary images derived from an upsampling operation performed on respective representations of the preliminary images at a lower level of quality;
- receiving second encoded image data specifying further adjustments;
- and
- combining the baseline and the second encoded image data to reconstruct an image in the sequence.
