Abstract
An embedded codec (EBC) circuitry includes encoder circuitry to determine a refinement start position in a bit-plane of an encoded data block based on a random number. The refinement start position is a position in the bit-plane based on a value of the random number. The encoder circuitry determines a refinement order in the bit-plane for refining un-coded bits present in the bit-plane, based on the determined refinement start position and a refinement step size. The refinement order is a sequence of positions of the un-coded bits in the bit-plane that will be refined in that sequence. The encoder circuitry refines the un-coded bits by allocating a refinement bit at the refinement start position in the bit-plane and then followed by the allocation of subsequent refinement bits in the determined refinement order.
