Abstract

A method for processing an image, the method comprising retrieving an image, encoding the image as a string of components, deriving an exponent for each component, deriving mantissas wherein at least an approximation of each component can be derived from the exponents and mantissas, and wherein each exponent indicates the number of bits in its accompanying mantissa, compressing at least the exponents, and storing the exponents and the mantissas in a memory. There is also provided a apparatus for processing an image.
