DECODING SYSTEM AND METHOD OPERABLE TO ENCODE TEXTURE ELEMENT BLOCKS Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC G06T11/00 

FIELD: physics, computer engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a decoding system and method operable to encode texture element blocks. The decoding system (1) comprises N different decoders (100, 200, 300, 400) each having a unique circuit that is different from the circuits of the other N-1 decoders. The decoders (100, 200, 300, 400) generate at least one texel value based on an input encoded texel block (40). A value selector (500) is configured to selectively output at least N texel values from at least one of the decoders (100, 200, 300, 400) based on the position of the at least N texels (30-36) relative a boundary of a texel block (10) comprising at least one of the at least N texels (30-36). A pixel calculator (600) calculates a pixel value of a decoded pixel based on the at least N selected texel values from the value selector (500).

EFFECT: high efficiency of decoding encoded texel blocks.
