IMAGE FRAMES MULTIPLEXING METHOD AND SYSTEM

摘要

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a method of encoding image frames into a multiplexed frame, and a corresponding method of decoding the multiplexed frame. The encoding method includes modifying image frames to generate corresponding processed frames, and generating masking data that indicates how an output frame can be produced from one of the processed frames and another of the processed frames. The processed frames and the masking data can be combined to form a multiplexed frame. The decoding method includes receiving a multiplexed frame containing processed frames and masking data, and unpacking the multiplexed frame to identify the processed frames and the masking data. Once unpacked, an output frame can be generated from the processed frames by combining one of the processed frames with another of the processed frames according to the masking data.
