    摘要: In a predictive encoder for use particularly in a conference television system, a signal processing unit is used in producing a prediction signal and comprises three prediction circuits (22, 23, 31) and a selection circuit (24) coupled to the prediction circuits. The prediction circuits are for producing an inframe, an interframe, and a background prediction signals, respectively. Those signals are produced by processing an original signal at instants which precede a current instant and are different from one another. The selection circuit is for selecting one of the inframe, the interframe, and the background prediction signals. Therefore, it is possible to produce the prediction signal suitably predictive of the original signal. The signal processing circuit serves equally well in a predictive decoder.

    摘要: A prediction error signal and a prediction state signal are generated for each of a plurality of picture elements (or bit planes or gray codes) to be encoded. The picture error signal is based on a plurality of previously encoded picture element data (or bit plane or gray code). The prediction state signal indicates the probability of the prediction error signal being accurate in one of two probability states. The prediction error signals are classified into two groups according to the probability state indicated by the corresponding prediction state signal. The prediction error signals are then reordered according to a predetermined algorithm. Thereafter, the reordered prediction error signals are run length coded based on the occurrences of incorrectly predicted error signals in the reordered list.

    摘要: An interframe encoder for a composite color television signal comprises an inverter for inverting the polarity of the carrier chrominance signal. Responsive to a switching signal synchronized with the frame or line periods, the television signal and the polarity-inverted signal are alternatingly switched into a converted signal in which the polarity of the carrier chrominance signal is inverted in every other frame or line period. The converted signal is interframe encoded. An interframe decoder reproduces the converted signal and the switching signal and comprises an inverter for inverting the polarity of the reproduced carrier chrominance signal. Responsive to the reproduced switching signal, the reproduced and polarity-inverted carrier chrominance signal and the converted signal are switched into a reproduction of the color television signal.

    摘要: In an encoder responsive to a video signal variable between high and low levels, a logic converter logically converts a succession of result signals, derived from the video signal by the use of a predetermined number of halftone threshold levels, into a sequence of converted signals having that run length of logic "0" or "1" level which is longer than that in the result signal succession. The converter may comprise a combination of adders and memory elements to process the consecutive result signals. The converted signal sequence is encoded by an encoding circuit into a data-compression digitized signal. In a decoder for decoding the digitized signal into a reproduction of the result signal succession, a logic inverter comprises a combination of adders and memory elements, similar to that of the converter. The inverter processes, into the reproduction, signals derived from data-expansion decoding of the digitized signal. Preferably, a dither matrix is used to provide the threshold levels.

    摘要: A digital facsimile system suitable for the facsimile transmission of newspaper pages having screened picture portions and printed character portions is disclosed. The transmitter receives a digitized facsimile signal which is a train of pel codes formed by scanning a picture to be transmitted. In response to the digitized facsimile signal, a first reference generator produces first pel codes neighboring the present pel code, a second pel code spaced by the pitch of the screened picture from the present pel code, and third pel codes neighboring the second pel code. A ROM is addressed by the first, second and third pel codes to produce a first prediction code for the present pel code. The output of the ROM and the digitized facsimile signal are supplied to an Exclusive OR which provides a prediction error code according to the difference between the first prediction code and the present pel code. A train of prediction errors codes constitutes a prediction error signal which is encoded and transmitted. The receiver receives the encoded prediction error signal and decodes it to reproduce the prediction error signal. Another Exclusive OR produces the present pel code from each error code of the prediction error signal. A second reference code generator produces a second reference code corresponding to the first reference code on the basis of the output of the second Exclusive OR. A second ROM produces a second prediction code corresponding to the first prediction code on the basis of the second reference code and applies the second prediction code to the second Exclusive OR.
