  • Method for the encoding of data for assistance in the reconstruction of a sub-sampled moving electronic image
    Patent number: 4980764
    Abstract: A method for encoding data for assistance in the reconstruction of sub-sampled moving electronic images, particularly HDTV images transmitted by MAC channel, optimizing the representation of the assistance data while minimizing the corresponding throughput of data through compression of the image signal by segmentation of the image into homogeneous blocks of different sizes. An imbricated, hierarchical encoding is achieved on the image blocks, for assigning to the blocks a choice of processing, on the one hand, and a motion vector, on the other hand.
