Abstract: The systems and methods provide continuous integration and continuous deployment pipeline management using pipeline-agnostic rule sets applied to pre-deployment code samples. The system standardizes the application of a rule set to a pre-deployment code sample to use data at a given location, but the system allows for the sample itself to determine which data stream of the data streams at that data location is used. As such, the systems and methods avoid the need for the plethora of rule sets that would overwhelm a user and defeat the purpose of the CaaS product, but the system allows for processing pre-deployment code samples that are specific to the sample.

Abstract: A method of generating an image signal from a plurality of images of a scene performs iterations that comprise generating (505) predicted images for a candidate set of images from a set of (previously) included images. A set of selected images is selected (509) from the set of candidate images in response to a prediction quality. For each selected image a subset of pixels is determined (511) in response to pixel prediction qualities for the pixels of the image, and a set of partial images corresponding to the selected images is generated (513) by selecting (511) a subset of pixels. The selected image is deleted from the candidate set and the partial image is added to the included set. The approach may provide a low complexity and low resource selection of image data representing a scene.
