Method and system for optimized delta encoding

A method for image processing, the method comprising:

• producing a plurality of correlation parameters, each correlation parameter representing a degree of correlation between two images of a plurality of images, the plurality of images having a first ordering independent of the plurality of correlation parameters;
• producing a second ordering dependent on the plurality of correlation parameters;
• and
• delta encoding the plurality of images according to the second ordering.

A system for image processing, the system comprising:

• a processor that is operable to:
• produce a plurality of correlation parameters representing degrees of correlation between two images of a plurality of images, the plurality of images having a first ordering independent of the plurality of correlation parameters;
• produce a second ordering dependent on the plurality of correlation parameters;
• and
• delta encode the plurality of images according to the second ordering.

A camera, the camera comprising:

• a memory for storing a plurality of images;
• and
• a processor that is operable to:
• produce a plurality of correlation parameters representing degrees of correlation between two images of a plurality of images, the plurality of images having a first ordering independent of the plurality of correlation parameters;
• produce a second ordering dependent on the plurality of correlation parameters;
• and
• delta encode the plurality of images according to the second ordering.
