Abstract
The invention is directed to a method and apparatus for storing image data received in a block-interleaved format using an MCU buffer. A first minimum coded unit of the image data is stored in a first memory. The image data in the first minimum coded unit is grouped into pixels. The grouped image data is stored in a second memory as a second minimum coded unit of the image data. Preferably, the image data is converted from a first color format to a second color format. Further, the image is preferably dimensionally transformed.
