=Missing Items from Bit-Plane Article[edit]

Mention that gray-slice is just taking some of the bit-planes from the image in order to facilitate analysis, viewing, or compression. A gray-slice is similar to using a band-pass filter for analogue data.
Mention that many current compression methods (jpeg2000, mpeg4) divide the image into bit planes and them compress them individually.
Some lossy compression methods will delete the noisy bit planes to improve quality
Mention that video stabilization tracks objects by bit planes in order to determine how to stabilize the image (there is a US patent for this)

Bad grammar - "Thus, adding bit-plane gives a better approximation.

Incrementing a bit plane by 1 gives the final result half of a value of a previous bit-plane. If a bit is set to 1, the half value of a previous bit-plane is added, otherwise it does not, defining the final value."

Anyone else have real trouble understanding what's this is trying to say? It needs to be improved by an expert...

"A noisy bit-plane will have 49% to 51% pixels that are noise." --- does this mean that a bit-plane with 52% noisy pixel won't be considered noisy?
