摘要:
An image encoding method forms units respectively made up of a plurality of pixels belonging to within one period of a digital image data having a periodic property, and carries out an encoding using the units as units of encoding, so that two units which are consecutively encoded are separated by an integer multiple of the period.

A device for processing images includes a compressing/coding unit which encodes image data including a plurality of color components to produce fixed-length codes, a memory unit which stores therein the codes produced by the compressing/coding unit, a distribution-measurement unit which measures a distribution of the color components concurrently with the encoding of the image data performed by the compressing/coding unit, and a memory-control unit which releases a memory space assigned to part of the codes relating to colors in the memory unit if the distribution-measurement unit detects that the distribution concentrates on a particular color composition, and records data indicative of the particular color composition in the memory unit.
摘要:
A coding apparatus which can simplify a coding circuit and also simplify the processing of quantization. Image data that consists of R-, G-, and B-color components read from a scanner into buffers is subjected to transformation using a position correlation for each of RGB in position-correlation transformation sections. The DC component of each of the components is then color-converted in a color conversion section to be a DC lightness signal and DC color signals, and the signals are quantized in a quantization section and a coding section. Whereas, the AC components of each of the components are subjected to quantization in a first step in an AC component quantization section, and further to color conversion in a color conversion section to be an AC lightness signal and AC color signals. The signals are quantized in a second step in a quantization section and a coding section.

An image processing device is disclosed that classifies images in an image database and displays the classified images for searching, and is able to easily narrow a range of candidate images and improve operability. The image processing device includes a first classification unit, a display image controller that generates a display image for displaying a status of the classification performed by the first classification unit; a second classification unit that enables a user to select one or more categories included in the display image, and classifies image documents included in a selected category; a detection unit that detects a searching status; and a classification key selection unit that selects a classification key for the second classification unit in response to detection results of the detection unit.

A novel method is provided, which makes it possible to perform mass propagation of a plant of the family Araceae, the family Bromeliaceae, or the family Marantaceae. Specifically, a method for producing an embryogenic callus, comprising culturing a leaf sheath or a part thereof of a plant selected from the group consisting of the family Araceae, the family Bromeliaceae, and the family Marantaceae as an explant and then inducing an embryogenic callus and a propagation method comprising regenerating a plant through induction of a somatic embryo from the embryogenic callus obtained by the above method are also provided herein.
摘要:
A dividing portion divides input image data into a plurality of block data, a block expressed by each of said plurality of block data comprising a pixel matrix of the same predetermined size. A transform portion transforms each of the plurality of block data by a frequency transform method so as to produce a transform factor. A quantizing portion, having a plurality of quantization tables, quantizes the transform factor using one of the plurality of quantization tables. An encoding portion encodes an output of the quantizing portion. A reverse transform portion restores image data from the output of the quantizing portion. A measuring portion measures an error between the input image data and the image data restored by the reverse transform portion. The quantizing portion quantizes the transform factor again using another one of the plurality of quantization tables when the error measured by the measuring portion exceeds a predetermined threshold value.
摘要:
An image processing apparatus for inputting image data from an external image input device and outputting the inputted image data to an external image output device after processing the data, the image processing apparatus including a data compression device for compressing the inputted image data by a variable-length data compression method. An image data storing device stores the inputted image data therein. A control device controls the apparatus, such that, when a size of an output image of the inputted image data is larger than a predetermined size, the data compression device compresses the inputted image data by the variable-length data compression method and the image data storing device stores the compressed image data therein, and, when the output image of the inputted image data is equal to or smaller than the predetermined size, the image data storing device stores the inputted image data therein without data compression.
