摘要:
A pixel calculating device that performs vertical filtering on pixel data in order to reduce frame data in a vertical direction. The pixel calculating device includes a decoding unit 401 for decoding compressed video data to produce frame data, frame memory 402 for storing the frame data, a filtering unit 403 for reducing the frame data in a vertical direction by the vertical filtering to produce a reduced image, buffer memory 404 for storing the reduced image outputted from filtering unit 403, and a control unit 406 for controlling filtering unit 403 based on a decoding state of the video data by decoding unit 401 and a filtering state of the frame data by filtering unit 403, so that overrun and underrun do not occur in filtering unit 403.

A pixel calculating device for performing vertical filtering that includes 16 pixel processing units 1 to 16 and an input buffer group 22 storing 16 pieces of pixel data and filter coefficients. Each of the pixel processing units performs operations using the pixel data and a filter coefficient supplied from input buffer group 22, and then acquires pixel data from an adjacent pixel processing unit. Further operations are performed by each of the pixel processing units using the acquired pixel data and operation results are accumulated. Filtering is carried out through a repetition of this acquiring and accumulation process, the number of taps being determined by the number of repetitions.

A transcoder for resizing video data and outputting the resized video data to a reproduction apparatus. The reproduction apparatus reproduces the resized video data by repeating a display period and a non-display period alternately. The transcoder includes: a resizing unit that resizes the video data; and a control unit that causes the resizing unit to resize the video data to first video data having a first resolution so that the reproduction apparatus displays one image during each display period, and causes the resizing unit to resize, during each period between the resizing of the video data to the first video data, the video data to second video data having a second resolution that is lower than the first resolution.

The present invention provides an image decoding apparatus that realizes speed-up processing of taking out an MR (macroblock remainder) from a fixed length unit that consists of a first DCT block and the MR, without increasing cost. A Setup processor 3 outputs one out of a plurality of fixed length units that constitute an SB (synchronized block). First, calculation is performed for a length from a beginning of the fixed length unit to a EOB (end of block) that is included in the fixed length unit. The calculated length is then used as an offset in taking out the MR. Then an end portion of a second DCT block that is included in the MR is combined with a corresponding beginning portion of the second DCT block, in order to obtain the complete second DCT block. The complete second DCT block is outputted to a variable length code decoder 13.

An image memory stores a one-screen image by dividing the one-screen image into a plurality of image blocks which are each m pixels wide by n pixels high. The image memory has an array-like storage region storing s*t first chrominance components that compose one image block and s*t second chrominance components that compose the same image block in serial areas between a start area specified by a row address and a first column address and an end area specified by the same row address and a second column address (see FIG. 10). The storage region also stores m*n luminance components that compose the same image block in serial areas between a different start area specified by a different row address and a third column address and an end area are specified by the different row address and a fourth column address.

A media processing apparatus is made up of an I/O processing unit for performing input/output processing which asynchronously occurs due to an external factor and a decode processing unit for performing decode processing mainly for decoding of data streams stored in a memory in parallel with the input/output processing. The input/output processing includes receiving the data streams which are asynchronously inputted, storing the inputted data streams in the memory, and supplying the data streams from the memory to the decode processing unit. The decode processing unit is made up of a sequential processing unit mainly performing condition judgements on the data streams and a routine processing unit performing decode processing on compressed video data aside from header analysis of the compressed video data in parallel with the sequential processing. Accordingly, the input/output processing means and the decode processing means are respectively charged with the asynchronous processing and the decode processing, and the input/output processing means and the decode processing means operate in parallel as in pipeline processing. As a result, the decode processing means can be devoted to the decode processing, regardless of asynchronous processing. Accordingly, processes including input processing of stream data, decode processing of the inputted data, and output processing of decoded data are executed efficiently.

The invention provides a circuit used in a padding and other processes necessary for coding of objects, and performs at high speed pixel processing to generate pixel values to be assigned to cells, using pixel values in a reference area, which includes cells with and without a pixel value. A cell address outputting unit (i) obtains cell addresses indicating positions of a predetermined number of cells serially arranged and binary signals expressing whether those cells each have a pixel value, and (ii) selects, for each cell, two of the obtained cell addresses corresponding to a part of binary signals each expressing that a cell has a pixel value, and outputs the selected cell addresses. A reading unit reads pixel values of the cells at the outputted cell addresses. An operating unit calculates the average of the two read pixel values and outputs the average as a pixel value.
