Abstract
A method for compressing an image in a sequence of pseudo-video frames of a lower resolution than the image, comprising providing a video encoder fit for at least one of a spatial or temporal compression, providing an image, dividing the image into a plurality of partitions and encoding the partitions into pseudo-video frames by the encoder.

A method for compressing an image in a sequence of pseudo-video frames of a lower resolution than the image, comprising:
- (a) providing a video encoder fit for at least one of a spatial or temporal compression;
- (b) providing an image;
- (c) dividing the image into a plurality of partitions;
- and
- (d) encoding the partitions into pseudo-video frames by the encoder.
A method for integration of an image compression functionality in at least one of an apparatus or a design for video encoding of frames of a lower resolution than the image, comprising:
- (a) providing a video encoding apparatus comprising a processor configured to execute a program;
- and
- (b) modifying the apparatus to facilitate compression of a still image by the apparatus.
A method for integration in a video decoder a functionality for decompression an image compressed in frames of a pseudo-video sequence, comprising:
- (a) providing a video decoder comprising a stored programming code;
- and
- (b) modifying the code to facilitate image decompression from decoded video frames.
An apparatus for image compression in a pseudo-video sequence of frames of a lower resolution than the image, comprising:
- (a) a video encoder configured to encode at least spatially or temporally a plurality of pictures in a sequence of compressed frames;
- (b) a processor configured to execute a stored program or a part thereof;
- and
- (c) wherein the program is configured to compress the image by the encoder.
An apparatus for image decompression of an image compressed in a pseudo-video sequence of frames of a lower resolution than the image, comprising:
- (a) a video decoder configured to decode frames into pictures from a pseudo-video sequence of compressed frames;
- (b) a processor configured to execute a stored program or a part thereof;
- and
- (c) wherein the stored program is configured to decompress the image by the decoder.
