Compression and decoding of single sensor color image data
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for decoding an encoded image representative of an original image at an original resolution and comprising a set of encoded image planes each representative of one or more original image planes of the original image, the method comprising:
- in response to receiving a request for the original image;
accessing the set of encoded image planes, at least one encoded image plane representative of two or more original image planes; and
decoding the accessed set of encoded image planes to produce the original image at the original resolution; and
in response to receiving a request for a preview of the original image;
accessing a subset of the set of encoded image planes, the subset comprising less than all of the set of encoded image planes; and
decoding the accessed subset of encoded image planes to produce the original image at a preview resolution lower than the original resolution.

Abstract
A method is described to greatly improve the efficiency of and reduce the complexity of image compression when using single-sensor color imagers for video acquisition. The method in addition allows for this new image compression type to be compatible with existing video processing tools, improving the workflow for film and television production.

1. A method for decoding an encoded image representative of an original image at an original resolution and comprising a set of encoded image planes each representative of one or more original image planes of the original image, the method comprising:
-
in response to receiving a request for the original image; accessing the set of encoded image planes, at least one encoded image plane representative of two or more original image planes; and decoding the accessed set of encoded image planes to produce the original image at the original resolution; and in response to receiving a request for a preview of the original image; accessing a subset of the set of encoded image planes, the subset comprising less than all of the set of encoded image planes; and decoding the accessed subset of encoded image planes to produce the original image at a preview resolution lower than the original resolution. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A system for decoding an encoded image representative of an original image at an original resolution and comprising a set of encoded image planes each representative of one or more original image planes of the original image, the system comprising:
-
an input configured to receive a request for an image; a decoder configured to; in response to receiving a request for the original image; access the set of encoded image planes, at least one encoded image plane representative of two or more original image planes; and decode the accessed set of encoded image planes to produce the original image at the original resolution; and in response to receiving a request for a preview of the original image; access a subset of the set of encoded image planes, the subset comprising less than all of the set of encoded image planes; and decode the accessed subset of encoded image planes to produce the original image at a preview resolution lower than the original resolution; and an output configured to output produced images. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
