Extended range wireless inter-networking system and device

An apparatus and method for decoding of encoded signals representing at least image information from a storage medium is claimed. A storage device is configured to receive the storage medium. A decoder is configured receive the compressed encrypted encoded signals from the storage medium, and send the signals to a decryptor. The decryptor is configured to decrypt the compressed encrypted encoded signals, and send the signals to a decompressor. The decompressor is configured to receive the compressed encoded signals from the decryptor and to decompress the compressed encoded signals to enable display of the image.

Apparatus and method for decoding digital image and audio signals

A method of losslessly compressing and encoding signals representing image information is claimed. A lossy compressed data file and a residual compressed data file are generated. When the lossy compressed data file and the residual compressed data file are combined, a lossless data file that is substantially identical to the original data file is created.

Apparatus and method for encoding digital image data in a lossless manner

A method of decimation of a digital image, the digital image represented by a plurality of pixels, is claimed. In the pixel domain, the digital image is divided into a plurality of blocks. Certain ones of the blocks are selectively decimated based upon predetermined criteria. In an embodiment, the chrominance portions of a given pixel block are decimated.

Selective chrominance decimation for digital images

A method of decimation of a digital image, the digital image represented by a plurality of pixels, is claimed. In the pixel domain, the digital image is divided into a plurality of blocks. Certain ones of the blocks are selectively decimated base upon predetermined criteria. In an embodiment, the chrominance portions of a give pixel block are determined.

A system and method for quality-based image compression utilizing adaptively sized blocks and sub-blocks of discrete cosine transform coefficient data and a quality based quantization scale factor is claimed. A block size assignment element in an encoder element selects the block or sub-block of an input block of pixel data to be processed. Blocks with variances larger than a threshold are subdivided, while blocks with variances smaller than a threshold are not subdivided. A transform element transforms the pixel values of the selected blocks into the frequency domain. The frequency domain values are quantized either on a block by block basis or a frame by frame basis utilizing a scale factor that correlates with the quality of the image. The data is then serialized and coded in preparation for transmission.
