Abstract
An example apparatus, a computer-implemented method for encoding a coordinate locations, and an imaging sensor comprising location encoding circuitry are provided. The example apparatus includes location encoding circuitry configured to receive a coordinate location associated with a location in a coordinate system; determine a sequential distance between the coordinate location and a previous coordinate location, wherein the sequential distance indicates a number of positions in a sequential order between the coordinate location and the previous coordinate location; determine a step size based on a plurality of coordinate locations; and determine a coordinate location encoding associated with the coordinate location based on a comparison of the sequential distance to the step size.
