US Patent 11297203 Image processing system and method

A high-definition image is preprocessed to generate a substantially losslessly-reconstructable set of image components that include a relatively low-resolution base image and a plurality of extra-data images that provide for progressively substantially losslessly reconstructing the high-definition image from the base image, wherein a single primary-color component of the extra-data images provides for relatively quickly reconstructing full-resolution intermediate images during the substantially lossless-reconstruction process.
