Abstract: A method of data storage includes associating delta colour compression DCC metadata with one or more tiles of graphics data, selecting one or more such tiles that are uniform in colour and hence can be accurately represented by the DCC metadata for that tile, and replacing some or all of the graphics data in one or more selected tiles with different data.

Abstract: Apparatus comprises an image processor configured to provide output video images to a head mountable display, HMD, having one or more display elements to display video images to a wearer of the HMD, for display by the one or more display elements in response to input video images, in which each output video image corresponds to a respective input video image; in which: the image processor comprises a detector configured to detect whether an input image brightness at image locations in the input video images exceeds a threshold image brightness; and the image processor is configured to vary a relationship between the display properties at a given image location in a given output video image and the input image display properties at the given image location in the corresponding input video image in response to a detection that image brightness at the given image location in one or more input video images preceding that corresponding input video image exceeded the threshold image brightness.

Abstract: There is provided an image processing method. The method comprises obtaining a first velocity of one or more parts of a second image frame between a first image frame and the second image frame. The first image frame and the second image frame are frames for display at a head mounted display, HMD. The method further comprises receiving motion data indicative of motion of the HMD between a display time of the first image frame and a display time of the second image frame, adjusting the first velocity based on the received motion data to determine an adjusted velocity of the one or more parts of the second image frame between the first image frame and the second image frame, and performing one or more image processing operations on the second image frame based on the adjusted velocity of the one or more parts of the second image frame.
