  • Publication number: 20070177814
    Abstract: A method is provided for processing data of a sub-picture of a picture. The method includes: providing an object of the sub-picture, forming a binary bit map of the object, and determining whether the number of bits having a first binary value is greater than the number of bits having a second binary value in the binary bit map. The method further includes: determining whether it is necessary to transform the binary bit map into a transformed binary bit map so that the number of bits having the first binary value is smaller than the number of bits having the second binary value in the transformed binary bit map, and determining a compression rule by determining the most significant two bits of a section of consecutive bits in the binary bit map or the transformed binary bit map.
