The decoder displays the image MCU by MCU. This allows for correct color presentation, even for partly decoded images. In the case of different component resolutions, the construction of MCUs becomes more complex (sce Figure 7-8). For each component, regions of data units, potentially with different numbers of data units, are constructed. Each component con- sisis of the same number of regions. For example, in Figure 7-8 each component has six regions. MCUs are comprised of exactly one region from each component, The data units within a region are oxdered from let to right and [rom top to bottom. According to the JPEG standard, a maximum of four components can be encoded using the interleaved mode. This is not a limitation, since color images are generally represented using three components. Each MCU can contain at most tem data units, Within an image, some components can be encoded in the interleaved mode and others inthe noninterleaved mode. 7.5.2 Lossy Sequential DCT-Based Mode After image preparation, the uncompressed image samples are grouped into data units of 8% pixels, as shown in Figure 7-9; the order of these data units is defined by the MCUs. In this baseline mode, each sample is encoded using p=8bit. Each pixel is tn integer in the range 0 10 258, = — T L — Figure 7-8 Stops of the lossy sequential DCT-based coding mode, starting with an Uncompressed image after image preparation, Figure 7-10 shows the compression and decompression process outlined here.
