\begin_layout Section
General Description
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Each frame is split in 1 to 4 planes (Y, Cb, Cr, Alpha).
In the case of the normal YCbCr colorspace the Y plane is coded first followed
by the Cb and Cr planes, if an Alpha/transparency plane exists, it is coded
last.
In the case of the JPEG2000-RCT colorspace the lines are interleaved to
improve caching efficiency since it is most likely that the RCT will immediatel
y be converted to RGB during decoding; the interleaved coding order is also
Y,Cb,Cr.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Samples within a plane are coded in raster scan order (left->right, top->bottom).
Each sample is predicted by the median predictor from samples in the same
plane and the difference is stored see

\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Border
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
For the purpose of the predictior and context samples above the coded picture
are assumed to be 0; samples to the right of the coded picture are identical
to the closest left sample; samples to the left of the coded picture are
identical to the top right sample (if there is one), otherwise 0.

\begin_layout Standard
Instead of coding the n+1 bits of the sample difference with Huffman-, or
Range coding (or n+2 bits, in the case of RCT), only the n (or n+1) least
significant bits are used, since this is sufficient to recover the original
sample.

To encode scalar integers it would be possible to encode each bit separately
and use the past bits as context.
However that would mean 255 contexts per 8-bit symbol which is not only
a waste of memory but also requires more past data to reach a reasonably
good estimate of the probabilities.
Alternatively assuming a Laplacian distribution and only dealing with its
variance and mean (as in Huffman coding) would also be possible, however,
for maximum flexibility and simplicity, the chosen method uses a single
symbol to encode if a number is 0 and if not encodes the number using its
exponent, mantissa and sign.
The exact contexts used are best described by the following code, followed
by some comments.
