A method represents a correlated set of images. The correlation can be spatial or temporal. A lossy operation is applied to each image in the correlated set to generate a coarse image. The coarse image is encoded losslessly to yield an encoded coarse image. Each image is also represented by syndrome bits. The combination of the encoded coarse images and the syndrome bits represent the correlated set of images.
