Abstract
An apparatus and a method for identifying the spatial location of a coding unit, e.g., a texture unit (TU), in a hierarchically decomposed image. Specifically, the invention quickly computes and identifies the “starting point” of a texture unit, by using the texture unit number and the width and height of the “DC” band.
