Abstract: An image processing apparatus is provided that comprises an input configured to receive an image and a Laplacian generator configured to generate, from the image, a Laplacian pyramid that represents the image as a series of frames that contain different frequency components of the image. The image processing apparatus also comprises a compressor configured to compress the Laplacian pyramid for writing to memory.

Abstract: A data packer is provided that is configured to form a bit stream for forwarding a plurality of values to memory. The bit stream includes the plurality of values and respective prefixes for identifying the values and the data packer is configured to insert the prefixes at predetermined boundaries in the bit stream, such that a prefix for identifying one value is inserted between bits that define a value identified by another prefix. A data unpacker is also provided that is configured to unpack a bit stream that comprises a plurality of values and respective prefixes for identifying those values that are located at predetermined boundaries in the bit stream, such that a prefix for identifying one value is inserted between bits that define a value identified by another prefix. The data unpacker is configured to identify a prefix at a predetermined boundary in the bit stream and determine, in dependence on that prefix and the predetermined boundaries, a location of the next prefix in the bit stream.
