Abstract
Data processing systems (e.g. image processing systems) and methods are provided for processing a stream of data values (e.g. pixel values). In each of a plurality of iterations, a respective particular data value of the stream is processed by operating on a respective particular subset of data values of the stream. In each iteration: group indication data for at least one group is retrieved and used to define a set of groups into which data values within the particular subset can be grouped; each of the data values within the particular subset is grouped into one of the groups of the set of groups; the particular data value is processed using one or more of the data values of the particular subset in dependence on the classification of the data values into the groups; and group indication data is stored for a group, for use in a subsequent iteration.
