    摘要: Encoding and decoding devices which are capable of increasing the encoding and decoding speed. In arithmetic encoding, there is a possibility of encoding with high efficiency which is very close to the entropy of the information source, but the encoding and decoding time is generally longer than that in another encoding systems such as an MMR encoding system. For example, in a standard facsimile equipment, about 1.3 sec is required for encoding the picture information in an A4-size copy. In prediction encoding, a memory for storing the past reference symbols and the predicted values therefor is necessary for prediction. Since the memory capacity is generally large, a large-capacity RAM is used. The encoding time is therefore greatly dependent on the access speed of the RAM. In the present invention, a high-speed register for storing the predicted value for a special symbol pattern is provided separately from the RAM so that the predicted value of the special symbol pattern is read from this register, thereby enabling high-speed encoding.

    摘要: Binary signals from picture elements arranged in rows and columns of the subject copy are successively applied to a group of shift registers and suitably time-delayed under the control of clock pulses so that the signals from reference picture elements for each object picture element simultaneously enter two logic circuits provided for a high and low scanning resolution. The logic circuits calculate predicted values for each object element following respective prediction functions. That circuit for the scanning resolution used delivers the predicted value to an exclusive OR gate also supplied with the actual signal from the same object element. Each time the gate determines a discord with the prediction, a coder delivers coded serial signals having predetermined variable lengths dependent upon the number of pulses counted up to that time by the coder. Also by referring to a picture element or elements farther distant from the object element, generized prediction functions are disclosed.

    摘要: An input gray-scale image is converted to a bilevel output signal by an image-processing apparatus with two binarizing circuits: one employing a uniform threshold and the other a dither matrix. The outputs of these circuits are selected for each pixel by deciding whether the pixel is a bilevel pixel or a gray-scale pixel. The decision is based on the maximum and minimum gray levels in a block of pixels centered on the pixel in question. Images having both bilevel and gray-scale parts can thus be binarized with clean reproduction of black-white edges.

    摘要: Binary 0's and 1's from picture elements in each line are counted with respect to each mode determined by adjacent picture elements to form symbol patterns determined by both the counts and the information content of a memory. Each pattern is encoded into a code word to be transmitted having a bit number determined by the arrangement of binary symbols included in it. Also the code words can be transmitted on the basis of address numbers of picture elements, starting with the output from a coder associated with a mode having the two-valued signal with the least address number.

    摘要: A coding system comprises the comparing circuit which compares a magnitude of the range on the number line which is allocated to the most probability symbol with a magnitude of the fixed range on the number line which is allocated to the Less Probability Symbol. If the range allocated to the MPS is smaller than that to the LPS, and when the symbol is the MPS, the range allocated to the LPS is generated. If the range allocated to the MPS is smaller than that to the LPS, and when the symbol is the LPS, the range allocated to the MPS is generated. By the system, a coding efficiency is improved especially when a probability of occurrence of LPS (Less Probability Symbol) is approximate to 1/2.

    摘要: An image memory outputs a target encoding pixel and a plurality of reference pixels in the vicinity thereof. A boundary mode determining unit determines a maximum value and a minimum value of the reference pixels, determines an average value of the maximum value and the minimum value, compares the respective reference pixel values with the average value, detects a boundary in the target encoding pixel and the reference pixels based on comparison results, and detects a pixel distribution state of the reference pixels based on the detected boundary. An adaptive predictor calculates a prediction value by performing a calculation based on a function corresponding to the pixel distribution state and the reference pixels. A prediction difference calculating unit determines a difference value between the prediction value and a value of the target encoding pixel. A prediction coincidence determining unit compares the prediction value and the target encoding pixel value, and outputs a comparison result as a binary signal. A context generator generates a context based on the pixel distribution state and the difference value of the prediction difference calculating unit. An arithmetic encoder encodes the binary signal based on the context thus generated.

    摘要: A coding method of a binary Markov information source comprises the steps of providing a range on a number line from 0 to 1 which corresponds to an output symbol sequence from the information source, and performing data compression by binary expressing the position information on the number line corresponding to the output symbol sequence. The present method further includes the steps of providing a normalization number line to keep a desired calculation accuracy by expanding a range of the number line which includes a mapping range, by means of a multiple of a power of 2, when the mapping range becomes below 0.5 of the range of the number line; allocating a predetermined mapping range on the normalization number line for less probable symbols LPS proportional to its normal occurrence probability; allocating the remaining mapping range on the normalization number line for more probable symbols MPS; and reassigning the predetermined mapping range to the remaining mapping range the half of a portion where the allocated remaining range is less than 0.5, when the allocated remaining range becomes below 0.5.

    摘要: Although data is transmitted with efficiency by an arithmetic encoding system, the number of carry control signals increases in proportion to the number of consecutive bits "1" s or bytes X`FF` s in a conventional system. In the present invention, an arithmetic encoder 302 `detects the possibility of a carry generated during arithmetic coding operation being propagated beyond at least a predetermined number of consecutive bytes X`FF` s in a supplied arithmetic code 315. When the propagation of the carry is impossible, a carry control signal is inserted into the first 2 bits of the byte other than X`FF` which occurs immediately after the consecutive bytes X`FF` s so as to transmit the presence or absence of a carry. An arithmetic decoder 303 detects the continuation of at least a predetermined number of bytes X`FF` s in the arithmetic code 315, and arithmetically decodes an output value YN316 on the basis of the predicted value MPS317 of the occurrence probability of the output value YN316 to be encoded and the region width Qe of the complementary predicted value LPS. Since the number of total bits of the inserted carry control signals is reduced by this "one-time 2-bits insertion system", the total number of transmitted code bits is also reduced.
