A high resolution image is decomposed to a basic lower resolution replica and a plurality of supplemental information fields for use in a progressive high resolution image facsimile transmission system. The basic lower resolution replica is generated by successive decompositions of the original image into a plurality of intermediate lower resolution replicas and corresponding supplemental information fields by employing a so-called edge decomposition technique. The supplemental information fields are required in a receiver to upgrade the basic lower resolution replica toward the original high resolution replica.

Zur Codierung von Bildsignalen, insbesondere für die Farbeinzelbildübertragung, werden Spektralkoeffizienten mittels einer DCT gebildet. Eine Wahrnehmbarkeits-Schwellwertentscheidung angewendet auf Blöcke dieser Spektralkoeffizienten wird in ihrer Empfindlichkeit in Abhängigkeit des Auftretens von Kantenstrukturen im Bildinhalt gesteuert. Eine Quantisierung und eine Entropiecodierung schließt sich an die Schwellwertentscheidung an. Zur Datenreduktion werden den Spektralkoeffizienten blockweise Klassen zugeordnet. Zur Identifizierung der Spektralkoeffizienten zu solchen Klassen genügt die Übertragung einer Klasseninformation.

An optical and electronic scan produces an image com posed of binary value pixels. An automatic picture compres sion routine reduces the number of pixels in the image. A first stage four to one reduction in the number of pixels is achieved by treating each mutually exclusive four pixel unit as a separate set. A binary value is assigned to each four pi xel set. That binary value is assigned to a single pixel in a first output image. The same process is repeated a second time to provide a final output image that has one-sixteenth the number of pixels as has the original input image. The value assigned to each four pixel unit set is a weighted function of the binary value of each of the sixteen pixels in a four pixel by four pixel subfield in which the unit set is centered. The greatest weight is give to the center pi xels, that is, to the four pixels of the unit set. Lesser weight is given to the peripheral pixels. Among the peripheral pi xels, lesser weight is given to the four corner pixels than is given to the eight side pixels between the corners. In the weighting process, the significance of the binary value of the sixteen pixels in the subfield is in part a function of the total pattern of the pixel values in the subfield.

@ A coding process for a facsimile transmission system employs block coding and dither matrices of black and white picture elements, wherein each matrix represents a portion of a subject (22). The subject is scanned to provide gray-scale tone-level data, and the data of continuous tone regions of the subject is represented by standardized patterns in matrix form. A run of identical patterns is counted in the scanning direction and a symbol incidating the number of such repetitions is placed in the code in lieu of the succession of code words representing individual ones of the repeating patterns. A second symbol is inserted into the code to indicate a succession of runs of repeating patterns in the same column now positioned in two or more rows. The second symbol is utilized in lieu of a repetition of code words corresponding to each of the repeated patterns. The two symbols provide for two dimensional compression of the length of the message for improved efficiency of transmission of pictorial data between the subject and a display of an image of the subject.

Facsimile transmission system in which the PEL data from the scanner unit (1) is sampled by a sample window (21) which equals the PEL size defined in an AM-PM-VSB transmission system. The positions of white or black PELs enclosed by the sample window is detected. The sample window includes four scanned small size PELs, and sixteen four-bit patterns representing the positions of the white or black PELs in the window are assigned to sixteen amplitude levels for amplitude modulation, respectively. These values are stored in a conversion table (7). For each sampled bit group, its bit pattern is determined, and the related data for controlling the amplitude of the carrier signal are fetched from the conversion table.
