摘要:
In an encoding system responsive to a sequence of coefficient signals which results from a predetermined linear transform and which is divided into a sequence of blocks, anterior processing is carried out prior to quantization about the coefficient signals in each block to determine a significant area of the coefficient signals by comparing each level of the coefficient signals with a threshold level. Only the coefficient signals within the significant area are judged to be valid and produced as a sequence of significant coefficient signals from a classifying circuit (20) to be quantized by a quantizer (15) into a sequence of quantized signals. The quantized signal sequence is subjected to posterior processing to produce a sequence of encoded signals. The significant area may be decided by the use of a selected one of zone detection, zigzag scanning, and adaptive scanning. In the posterior processing, the quantized signals may be encoded into the encoded signals by the use of a plurality of code sets or tables.

In an image coding system having a plurality of coding characteristics, such as quantization characteristics, a coding control circuit (21) selects either one of the coding characteristics by forming a histogram in response to a sequence of coefficients resulting from a sequence of digital image signals, to monitor an amount of information in every one of predetermined intervals. The amount of information is calculated by summing up the coefficients in relation to every one of the coding characteristics. An optimum one of the coding characteristics is indicated by the coding control circuit to code the coefficient sequence into a sequence of coded signals in accordance with the optimum coding characteristic. The coefficient sequence in each frame may be divided into a sequence of blocks each of which is judged to be either valid or invalid in relation to each coding characteristic. Results of judgement may be included in the amount of information.

摘要:
A motion compensation difference interframe or inter-frame coding system having a block data redundancy compression and coding unit (30a), a PIXEL data coding unit (40) and a prediction data generating unit (20). The block data redundancy compression and coding unit (30a) codes a motion compensated (MC) difference between an input image in a form of a block and a motion predicted image from the prediction data generator unit (20), and transmits a coded data to a receiver. The PIXEL data coding unit (40) receives an error between the MC difference and a decoded MC difference from the block data redundancy compression and coding unit (30a), rearranges the error in the PIXEL data and codes the PIXEL error, when the error is greater than a predetermined value. The PIXEL coded data is also transmitted to the receiver. The prediction data generator unit (20) generates a predicted block data of the motion of the image. The redundancy compression and coding unit (30a) may include a filter circuit (9) rejecting pulse components contained in the MC difference.
摘要:
For decoding by the use of a decoder buffer memory (14) an encoded video signal into which an encoder input signal is encoded with data compression on a basis of frames, a decoding device comprises a control signal producing unit (16) for delivering a decoder control signal to a decoder (15) when the frame of data written into the buffer memory coincides with the frame of data read out of the buffer memory. Responsive to the control signal, the decoder produces a supply control signal to the buffer memory to stop delivery of the read-out data to the decoder. Preferably, the decoding device should comprise a processing unit (11) for producing frame pulses at heads of the respective frames of the encoded video signal. A counter (12) counts the frame head pulses to make the write-in data and the read-out data indicate frame numbers for use in the signal producing unit. Alternatively, the decoding device may receive an encoded video signal in which frame number data are included for use in the signal producing unit.
