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 encoder responsive to a sequence of coefficient blocks each of which is composed of a plurality of orthogonal transform coefficients subjected to predictive encoding and orthogonal transform, the coefficient blocks are classified by a classification circuit (55) into a plurality of classes to produce a control signal (CONT) representative of the classes. A quantization unit (60), a code conversion unit (61), and a coefficient selection unit (62, 64) are controlled by the control signal to select quantization characteristics, code conversion characteristics, and coefficient selection characteristics. The quantization unit comprises a plurality of quantizers corresponding to the quantization characteristics while the code conversion unit and the coefficient selection unit comprise a plurality of code converters and a plurality of selection tables corresponding to the code conversion characteristics and the coefficient selection characteristics, respectively. Consequently, the coefficients are adaptively encoded into a reduced amount of encoded codes on encoding a moving image.

A motion compensation difference interframe or intra-frame coding system includes a block data redundancy compression and coding unit, a PIXEL data coding unit and a prediction data generator unit. The block data redundancy compression and coding unit codes a motion compensated (MC) difference between an input image in a block and a motion predicted image from the prediction data generator unit, and transmits coded data to a receiver. The PIXEL data coding unit receives an error between the MC difference and a decoded MC difference from the block data redundancy compression and coding unit, rearranges the error in 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 generates predicted block data of the motion of the image. The redundancy compression and coding unit may include a filter circuit rejecting pulse components contained in the MC difference.

摘要:
In an image coding system having a plurality of coding characteristics, such as quantization characteristics, information of a digital image signal sequence is monitored in each of a number of predetermined intervals by forming a histogram of a sequence of coefficients which is calculated from the digital image signal sequence in accordance with each of the coding characteristics. 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.

Encoding and decoding systems for a digital image communication apparatus suppresses any reduction in the encoding efficiency due to leaky prediction. A range correcting unit (3) corrects the range of data of a preceding frame stored in a memory (1) according to a reference value outputted from a reference value outputting unit (2). Thereafter, a leak coefficient multiplying unit (4) multiplies the data by a predetermined leak coefficient and outputs the product data. The data outputted from the leak coefficient multiplying unit (4) are uncorrected by an uncorrecting unit (5) to restore the range corrected by the range correcting unit (3). A predictive error outputting unit (6) detects the difference between the digital image data of an inputted present frame and the data uncorrected by the uncorrecting unit (5), and outputs the difference as a predictive error. A predictive error encoding unit (7) encodes the predictive error outputted from the predictive error outputting unit (6), and outputs the encoded predictive error.
