Abstract

Image data (derived from film or video clips) is transferred from storage to high speed memory. After a transfer has taken place, a prediction is made as to subsequent image frames that will need to be transferred. The predicted images are transferred from storage to high speed memory while previously transferred data held in memory is processed.
