1. A method comprising: via computer processor hardware, performing operations of: receiving image data specifying settings of image elements for each image of multiple original images in a sequence; analyzing the settings across the multiple original images; utilizing the settings of the multiple original images in the sequence to produce first encoded image data specifying a set of common image element settings, the set of common image element settings encoded to derive renditions of the multiple original images in the sequence; and producing the set of common image element settings to include: i) a rendition of a first object as detected in a first image of the multiple original images, and ii) a rendition of a second object as detected in a second image of the multiple original images; wherein a rendition of the second object is absent from the first image; and wherein a rendition of the first object is absent from the second image.
