Abstract

Method and system aspects for reducing memory storage requirements during decompression of tiled image data are described. Included in a method aspect, and system for achieving same, are identification of a number of tiles in each row of an image, and decompression of a bitstream of compressed image data from the number of tiles in parallel to fill a band buffer with a minimum number of lines needed for processing a scan line of the image.
