摘要:
JPEG-coded data is entropy-decoded to quantized DCT coefficients, which are supplied to a prediction tap extracting circuit (41) and a class tap extracting circuit (42). the prediction tap extracting circuit (41) and the class tap extracting circuit (42) extract necessary ones from the quantized DCT coefficients to produce a prediction tap and a class tap. A class sorting circuit (43) conducts class sorting according to the class tap. A coefficient table storage unit (44) supplies the tap coefficient corresponding to the class determined by the class sorting to a product-sum operating circuit (45). The product-sum operating circuit (45) conducts a linear prediction operation by using the tap coefficient and the class tap to produce decoded image data.
