Abstract

A decoder device receives data useable to generate data for representing a data signal at a first level of quality. The decoder device receives enhancement data useable to generate data for representing the data signal at a second, higher level of quality based on the data for representing the data signal at the first level of quality. The decoder device generates data for representing a target region of the data signal at a target level of quality using a selected portion of the received enhancement data. The selected portion is associated with the target region. The target level of quality is higher than the first level of quality. The decoder device generates data for representing a further region of the data signal at a level of quality that is lower than the target level of quality.
