ABSTRACT:
An encoding apparatus operable to encode video data representing successive images, each image including a plurality of pixels. The apparatus includes a differential encoder arranged to encode each image as one or more predetermined image regions. Each image is being encoded as a reference value and at least one differential pixel value. The differential pixel value(s) are derived in dependence on the reference value and/or other differential pixel value(s) in accordance with an order of encoding dependency; in which, for each image region, the differential encoder is operable in a first encoding mode for a first subset of the images to encode the image region using a first order of encoding dependency and in a second encoding mode for a second, different, subset of the images to encode the image region using a second, different, order of encoding dependency. The first and second subsets of images are arranged with respect to one another so that, from image to image, each image region is encoded in accordance with a predetermined sequence of orders of encoding dependency.
