Abstract
A multi-level transform generates descriptions containing compressed data that represents source data using a description generation operation and variable support filters for compaction at each level. The initial level filters the source data and each subsequent level operates on data filtered by a prior level. The description assignment and filtering at each level may vary to create different operating points for the multi-level transform. Each operating point may have a corresponding error recovery process. In one aspect, an error recovery process encodes additional descriptions that are combined with non-erroneous description data to provide error recovery of the data in missing or damaged descriptions. In another aspect, a multi-level transform is created by combining description generation and variable support filters at the various levels.
