  • Patent number: 10834414
    Abstract: A method of transcoding a delta row encoded image by: receiving the delta row encoded image comprising terms comprising an offset and replacement bytes for each changed portion to the exclusion of storing unchanged portions; subdividing the delta row encoded image into a plurality of delta row encoded tiles based on predetermined tile boundaries; determining, for a row of the delta row encoded image, terms comprising a tile offset and replacement bytes for each changed portion within a delta row encoded tile the tile offsets and the replacement bytes being determined to allow for independent processing of the differentially encoded tiles; determining edges within each of the delta row encoded tiles based on the determined tile offsets, bypassing an edge detection process for unchanged portions of the differentially encoded tile; and transcoding the delta row encoded image by encoding the identified edges.
