This mode supports 12 bits per sample value in addition to 8 bits. The image processing is DCT-based and is performed analogously to the baseline DCT mode. For the expanded lossy DCT-based mode, IPEG defines pro aressive coding in addition to sequential coding. Inthe first decoding run, a very rough, uunsharp image appears. This is refined during suecessive runs. An example of a very uunsharp image is shown in Figure 7-16 a). Ic is substantially sharper in Figure 7-16(b}, and in its correct resolution in Figure 7-16(0) Figure 7-16 Progressive picture presentation: (a) frst phase, very unsharp image: (b) ‘second phase, unsharp image; () third phase, sharp image.
