Abstract
A technique for processing data is disclosed. In one embodiment, the technique is realized by receiving a first representation of data at a processing device, which then processes the first representation of data so as to generate a second representation of data. The second representation of data includes a plurality of dependent data representations and a plurality of independent data representations. Each of the plurality of dependent data representations is substantially aligned in time with a corresponding one of the plurality of independent data representations.
Claims21
A method for processing data, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving a first representation of data at a processing device;
- and
- processing the first representation of data so as to generate a second representation of data, the second representation of data including a plurality of dependent data representations and a plurality of independent data representations, each of the plurality of dependent data representations being aligned in time with a corresponding one of the plurality of independent data representations, each of the plurality of dependent data representations representing a respective one of a plurality of difference frames of a video sequence, each of the plurality of independent data representations representing a respective one of a plurality of complete frames of the video sequence.
An apparatus for processing data, the apparatus comprising:
- a receiver for receiving a first representation of data;
- and
- a processor for processing the first representation of data so as to generate a second representation of data, the second representation of data including a plurality of dependent data representations and a plurality of independent data representations, each of the plurality of dependent data representations being aligned in time with a corresponding one of the plurality of independent data representations, each of the plurality of dependent data representations representing a respective one of a plurality of difference frames of a video sequence, each of the plurality of independent data representations representing a respective one of a plurality of complete frames of a video sequence.
An article of manufacture for processing data, the article of manufacture comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium;
- and
- computer programming stored on the storage medium;
- wherein the stored computer programming is configured to be readable from the computer readable storage medium by a computer and thereby cause the computer to operate so as to:
- receive a first representation of data;
- and
- process the first representation of data so as to generate a second representation of data, the second representation of data including a plurality of dependent data representations and a plurality of independent data representations, each of the plurality of dependent data representations being aligned in time with a corresponding one of the plurality of independent data representations, each of the plurality of dependent data representations representing a respective one of a plurality of difference frames of a video sequence, each of the plurality of independent data representations representing a respective one of a plurality of complete frames of a video sequence.
