  • Publication number: 20120170663
    Abstract: A video stream comprising a plurality of sequential frames of pixels is processed. For each pixel in a frame, a pixel data stream comprising the color components of the specific pixel is extracted from each frame with a processor. For each pixel data stream, a transformation of the pixel data stream into a plurality of detail components is performed with the processor. From each transformed pixel data stream, a detail component defining a lowest level of detail for the respective pixel data stream is collected with the processor. The collected lowest level of detail components is stored, sequentially in a primary block. At least one additional block containing remaining detail components is generated.
