mask layer: Even-numbered layers (i.e. layers 2, 4, 6, …), bi-level data, in a multi-layer segmentation of a page containing a combination ofbi-level and multi-level images. The bi-level mask layer selects the image layer directly above it or the image(s) below it to be visible. A corresponding image layer pixel above the mask layer is selected for reproduction when a mask layer pixel value is “1”. A corresponding pixel from the image or collection ofimages below the mask is selected when a mask pixel value is “0”. The first mask layer (layer 2) may be distinguished as the main mask. The main mask selects the foreground or background to be visible. In a 3-layer segmentation it is simply referenced as the mask layer. When there is more than one mask layer, the other mask layers (layers 4, 6, 8, …) may be referenced as the overlay masks. Virtual mask layer: Even-numbered layer (i.e. layers 2, 4, 6, …) that contains no coded data. A virtual mask layers is used to establish dimensions ofa page or stripe when there is no coded mask layer that spans the full dimensions ofthe page or stripe. Modified Huffman (MH), is shorthand for the lossless bi-level one-dimensional encoding method described in Recommendation T.4. Modified Modified READ (MMR), (READ is an acronym for Relative Element Address Designate) is shorthand for the lossless bi-level encoding method described in Recommendation T.6. Modified READ (MR), (READ is an acronym for Relative Element Address Designate) is shorthand for the lossless bi-level two-dimensional encoding method described in Recommendation T.4. MRC Magic Number: MRC Magic number, encoded as the JPEG SOI (Start ofImage – X’FFD8′) to alert decoders that JPEG application markers registered per Recommendation T.86 follow. Start of page marker segment (SOP), encoded as APP13 (X’FFED’), length ofsegment, SOP ident (MRC0), parameters. Start of stripe marker segment (SOSt), encoded as APP13 (X’FFED’), length ofsegment, SOSt ident (MRC1), parameters. Stripe: An image swath, spanning the width ofthe page, that may consist ofone or more layers. Termination Number (TN), encoded as the JPEG EOI (End ofImage – X’FFD9′) to alert decoders to the end ofthe initial JPEG application marker registered per Recommendation T.86. The TN is located directly after the SOP parameters. 4 Conventions The conventions in Recommendation T.81 apply to this Recommendation. 5 Image representation This Recommendation includes description ofsyntax for encapsulating one or more ITU-T encodings on a single page. A page is composed from a set ofpage-wide stripes ofimage data, which are coded independently. The stripes are transmitted sequentially from the top to the bottom ofthe page.
