Abstract: Coding techniques for image data may cause a still image to be converted to a “phantom” video sequence, which is coded by motion compensated prediction techniques. Thus, coded video data obtained from the coding operation may include temporal prediction references between frames of the video sequence. Metadata may be generated that identifies allocations of content from the still image to the frames of the video sequence. The coded data and the metadata may be transmitted to another device, whereupon it may be decoded by motion compensated prediction techniques and converted back to a still image data. Other techniques may involve coding an image in both a base layer representation and at least one coded enhancement layer representation. The enhancement layer representation may be coded predictively with reference to the base layer representation. The coded base layer representation may be partitioned into a plurality of individually-transmittable segments and stored. Prediction references of elements of the enhancement layer representation may be confined to segments of the base layer representation that correspond to a location of those elements. Meaning, when a pixel block of an enhancement layer maps to a given segment of the base layer representation, prediction references are confined to that segment and do not reference portions of the base layer representation that may be found in other segment(s).

Abstract translation: 用于图像数据的编码技术可以使静止图像被转换成通过运动补偿预测技术编码的“幻影”视频序列。 因此，从编码操作获得的编码视频数据可以包括视频序列的帧之间的时间预测参考。 可以生成元数据，其识别从静止图像到视频序列的帧的内容的分配。 编码数据和元数据可以被发送到另一个设备，于是可以通过运动补偿预测技术对其进行解码并转换成静止图像数据。 其他技术可以包括在基本层表示和至少一个编码的增强层表示中对图像进行编码。 增强层表示可以参考基本层表示预测地编码。 编码的基本层表示可以被划分成多个可单独传送的段并被存储。 增强层表示的元素的预测参考可以被限制为对应于那些元素的位置的基本层表示的段。 意思是，当增强层的像素块映射到基本层表示的给定段时，预测参考限于该段，并且不引用可能在其他段中找到的基本层表示的部分。
