There is disclosed an encoder, a decoder, related methods, and non-transitory storage units storing instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform the methods. At an encoder (), after a spatial transformation stage (), there is obtained a spatially transformed version () of input image information () having multiple bands and, for each band, multiple transform band coefficients. After the generation of precincts (), each comprising transform coefficients covering a predetermined spatial area of the input image information (), there is provided a component transformation stage (), to apply one component transformation (CTr) selected () out of a plurality of predetermined component transformations, to each band (') of each precinct (). Hence, there is obtained a spatially transformed and color transformed version () of the input image information (), which is subsequently quantized and entropy encoded.

Encoder, decoder and related methods

An apparatus for decoding a sequence of pictures from a data stream is configured for decoding a picture of the sequence by deriving a residual transform signal of the picture from the data stream; combining a residual transform signal with a buffered transform signal approximation of a previous picture of the sequence so as to obtain a transform signal representing the picture, the transform signal having a plurality of transform coefficients; and subjecting the transform signal to a spectral-to-spatial transformation. The apparatus is configured for deriving the buffered transform signal approximation from a further transform signal representing the previous picture so that the buffered transform signal approximation has approximations of further transform coefficients of the further transform signal.

Operation method of electronic device for encoding and decoding a sequence of pictures using a buffered transform signal approximation

An apparatus for decoding a sequence of pictures from a data stream is configured for decoding a picture of the sequence by: deriving a residual transform signal of the picture from the data stream; combining the residual transform signal with a buffered transform signal of a previous picture of the sequence so as to obtain a transform signal of the picture, the transform signal representing the picture in spectral components; and subjecting the transform signal to a spectral-to-spatial transformation, wherein the buffered transform signal comprises a selection out of spectral components representing the previous picture.

A file system is configured to provide, based on a request from a requester, a requested file stored on a storage medium to the requester. Furthermore, the file system is configured to provide a chosen part of the requested file corresponding to a desired version of the content of the requested file to the requester, based on received side information in the request indicating the desired version, and based on meta information of the requested file.

File system, computer and method

A device for caching a scalable original file having a first structure which has a header and a plurality of information packets for different information levels has a cache memory configured to cache a proxy file and/or information packets of the proxy file and a proxy file generator configured to generate a proxy file such that the latter is transferable into or directly has a second structure, which corresponds to the first structure of the original file. The proxy file generator further is configured to read out a first information packet of a basic information level from the original file and insert it into the proxy file at a position specified by the second structure and to output the proxy file in the second structure, so that in the second structure, at least one of the information packets of a non-basic information level is replaced with an empty information packet.
