Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques for reducing processing and/or storage resource requirements for retrieving an image from an image bitstream. A device to display compressed images includes a parsing component to parse a comment block of stream data to locate an entry associated with an image of multiple images, the stream data comprising an image bitstream of the multiple images, and the entry comprising a pointer to a location within the image bitstream at which a block of coefficients of a minimum coded unit (MCU) of the image begins and an indication of a coefficient of the block of coefficients; and a decoding component to retrieve the MCU from the image bitstream and employ the indication to decode the block of coefficients. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Techniques for image bitstream processing

Synchronization of downlink streaming data is performed by estimating the likelihood of an underflow or an overflow in an output buffer upon receipt of each encoded data frame to determine if synchronization will be needed. After each encoded data frame is decoded it is then synchronized if the estimate indicated synchronization would be needed. Synchronization of uplink steaming data is performed by estimating the likelihood of an underflow or an overflow in an input buffer upon sending of each encoded data frame to an output modem for transmission to determine if synchronization will be needed. If needed, synchronization will be performed later on a portion of data samples taken from the input buffer that are used to form a frame of un-encoded data samples.
