Abstract:
To improve the data compression ratio in the data compression/decompression method utilizing the down-sampling process. Image data in a DS area division unit (130) is divided into a plenty of DS areas and DS areas which are not important are converted into contracted data of the block size by down-sampling in a down-sampling unit (131). A relocation unit (132) allocates two or more contracted data in one DS area, inserts file data into the other portion in the DS area, and removes the DS area where no contracted data is allocated, thereby reducing the entire image size. The image data thus contracted is inputted into a JPEG encoder (14) and subjected to a DCT process and a quantization process for each block. When performing restoration, decompression is performed by the JPEG decoder and the original location is restored. As for the contracted data, interpolation is performed to restore the image data.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve a data compression rate in an image compression/decompression method using an image compressor such as an MPEG compressor for performing motion compensation prediction. SOLUTION: Image data are divided into a plurality of DS regions by a DS region divider 130, and a DS region other than a region designated as a significant region is converted into reduced data by a down-sampling part 132. A re-arranging part 133 arranges a significant region and reduced data in an image region matched with the horizontal width of the significant region, and generates reduced image data. At that time, the significant region is arranged at the head of the image data. The image data reduced in this way are inputted to an MPEG encoder 32, and motion compensation prediction is carried out for every motion compensation region, and encoding processing is carried out for each MPEG block. At the time of restoration, decompression processing is carried out by the MPEG decoder, the original arrangement is restored based on the header information, and compensation processing is carried out for the reduced data, and the image data are restored.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve a data compression ratio in a data compressing/expanding method utilizing a down sampling process. SOLUTION: An image data is divided into many DS areas in a DS area dividing portion 130, and an unimportant DS area is converted into a reduced data consisting of a block size by the down sampling at a down sampling portion 131. Rearranging portion 132 arranges reduced data of 2 or more in one DS area, inserts a file data into other parts in the DS area, and reduces a size of the entire image by eliminating the DS area where the reduced data is not arranged. The image data reduced like this is input in a JPEG encoder 14, and a DCT processing and a quantization processing or the like each block are conducted. The image data is restored to its original arrangement at a restoration time after it is expansion-processed by a JPEG decoder, the reduced data is interpolation-processed, and the image data is restored.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce storage capacity, while the image data with the high importance is stored in order to become high resolution. SOLUTION: The video signal outputted from camera 1 is quantized in a quantization means 22 and stored in a first storage area region 31. From the first storage area 31, the image data stored before the fixed period is read out and supplied to a means for reducing an amount of information 23, and the amount of data is reduced, when a controller 21 receives a timing signal that is outputted from a timer 24 every fixed period. The image data reduced the amount of data is stored in a second storage area. Further, the controller erases from the first storage area 31 the data corresponding to the image data read out from the first storage area 31, and the image data stored after that time is kept to be stored in the first storage area 31. The old data which passed more than the fixed period within the image data stored in the second storage area may be also erased.
