US Patent 11600026 Data processing systems

A data processing system comprises encoding circuitry operable to encode arrays of data elements, decoding circuitry operable to decode encoded versions of arrays of data elements, and consumer circuitry operable to use arrays of data elements. Data indicative of a resolution that is to be used by the consumer circuitry for at least one region of the array of data elements is provided to the encoding circuitry, and the encoding circuitry uses the data indicative of the resolution that is to be used by the consumer circuitry to control the generation of the representation for representing at least one block that the array of data elements is divided into.
