Abstract
A method for performing image rendering. The method includes identifying a tile in an image, wherein the image comprises a plurality of tiles including color data that is displayed by a plurality of pixels. A quantized first base value and a quantized second base value are accessed from a block of memory, wherein the block is associated with the tile. Reverse quantization is performed on the quantized first and second base values to obtain a reproduced first base value, and a reproduced second base value corresponding to the tile for purposes of determining color values for corresponding pixels.
