Abstract

Improved still image encoding techniques may include generating first items of a log and second items of coded tile-layer image data, where the log enumerates coding quality levels contained in the second items. The second items may include independent-type items, derived-type items of identity variant, and derived-type items with other variant(s). Such encoding techniques may provide for progressive decoding of images, and may provide for spatially variable encoding quality levels.
