    Abstract: An encoding device and a method for encoding an image frame comprising a plurality of pixel blocks are provided. A respective offset compression value is set for each of the plurality of pixel blocks based on an interest level associated with the pixel block, wherein each offset compression value defines an offset in relation to a reference compression value set for the image frame. In the image frame, one or more low contrast regions having a contrast which is below a predefined contrast threshold are identified. For pixel blocks within the one or more low contrast regions having set offset compression values based on the associated interest levels higher than a predefined offset compression threshold, the set offset compression values are selectively restricted to be at most equal to the predefined offset compression threshold. The image frame is then encoded using the set offset compression values.

    Abstract: A method for forming a combined image frame of a combined video stream comprises: capturing image frames of first and second video streams; encoding image data of the image frames of the first and second video streams, wherein each image frame of the first and second video streams are respectively encoded into first and second encoded data comprising a plurality of rows wherein each row has a height of a single coding unit and a width equal to a width of the image frame and is encoded as one or more slices; and combining the first and second encoded data into combined encoded data by interleaving rows of the first and second encoded data. The combined encoded data representing the combined image frame of the combined video stream.
