Abstract
Methods, apparatus, and systems may operate to more efficiently utilize data stored in an array of storage blocks organized as rows and columns of contiguous blocks, where non-linearity is present in the data. Activities may include organizing data to discard useless elements from storage blocks when transferring the data to a memory buffer, and perhaps compressing the data for increased memory density utilization. Additional activities may include reconstructing data stored in the memory buffer and using an image distortion formula to display a linear representation of the non-linear data.
