The encoding method comprises the steps of variable length encoding image data 70, storing n predetermined quantities of the encoded image data in n respective data buffers (where n/2) and generating n streams of encoded image data from the data stored in respective ones of the n data buffers. The data is split and stored in the n data buffers in accordance with the bit count 130 of the VLC encoder output. The complementary decoding method operates on the n streams of encoded image data to form a representation of an image by decoding each of the n streams of encoded image data to generate n respective streams of decoded image data, storing each of then streams of decoded image data in a respective one of n data buffers and concatenating the decoded image data from each of the n data buffers, to form the representation of the image. <IMAGE> |
