    摘要: In an image processing system for use in processing a sequence of image signals carrying a moving image, the image signal sequence is divided into a sequence of partial image signals each of which carries a scene subsequence defined by scene changes. A background signal generator determines a background portion of the moving image by monitoring a whole of each partial image signal and produces a background signal. The background signal is coded by a coder prior to a sequence of error signals resulting from predictive coding of each partial signal. During prediction of the background signal, the error signals may be rendered to zero in the coder. The background signal may be either determined at every picture element or at every block composed of a plurality of picture elements.

    摘要: In a recording system, a sequence of image signals obtained from a sequence of images are used to generate and record a sequence of recordable signals on a read only memory. Efficient coding of the received sequence of image signals is carried out through the use of a given parameter which is adaptively and dynamically changed, preferably manually, through a parameter controller acting as the interactive device. The image signals are repeatedly subjected to the efficient coding process. The process uses a sequence of predictive signals to produce coded signals. The predictive signals are displayed on a monitor display device to be monitored by an operator. The operator changes the attributes of the parameter until an optimum image is obtained. The optimum parameter is stored on a magnetic tape. The image signals subjected to the efficient coding enable the production of a sequence of coded image signals which are recorded on the read only memory in synchronism with the optimum parameter, after the optimum image has been obtained.

    摘要: In a reproduction system for use in reproducing a still image from a sequence of predictive error signals which is read out of a memory and which is preliminarily processed into a sequence of preliminary processed signals, an intermediate circuit interrupts the preliminary processed signals in response to an external command signal. In the intermediate circuit, the external command signal is resampled by a sequence of frame pulses in a resampling circuit into a resampled signal so as to close a gate circuit. No predictive error signal is sent to an adder circuit during absence of the gate circuit. An identical error signal is repeatedly produced as a sequence of reproduced signals to reproduce the still image.

    摘要: In a subband coding device for coding a digital device input signal which is a one-dimensional or a two-dimensional signal, a single coding circuit is used instead of a conventional combination of coders and a multiplexer. The coding circuit is for coding subband samples of different frequency bands in each sample group across the frequency bands, as by starting from a lowest frequency band and ending at a highest frequency band or reversedly, and preferably with attention directed to correlation which the subband samples have between two adjacent frequency bands. Zero-level components of the subband samples are preferably run-length coded. When the subband samples of each sample group have a tree structure including subtrees, the subband samples are preferably scanned from a subtree to another subtree either starting at or ending at the subband sample of the lowest frequency band.

    摘要: The invention provides a reversible eight-element discrete cosine transform system which can be realized with a practical circuit and provide transform values proximate to those obtained by actual eight-element discrete cosine transform. In 4×4 matrix transform which appears when eight-element discrete cosine transform is decomposed in accordance with a high speed calculation method, transform values (X1, X7, X3, X5) are divided into (X1, X7) and (X3, X5), and if (X1, X7) are determined, then possible values as (X3, X5),are limited. This is utilized for quantization of the elements. (X1, X7) are quantized with step sizes of k1 and k2 by operators to obtain quantization values (Q1, Q7). Meanwhile, from (X3, X5), global quantization values are obtained by a quantizer using a conventional reversible quantization technique while local quantization values are obtained using a second numerical value table, and quantization values (Q3, Q5) are obtained from the values of the gloval quantization values and the local quantization values. Then, an eight-element discrete cosine transform system is constructed by a combination of reversible transform quantization of a 4×4 matrix and conventional reversible transform quantization of a 2×2 matrix.

    摘要: The invention provides a coding system and a decoding system wherein a discrete cosine transform which provides a high coding efficiency is approximated to allow reversible coding and decoding while maintaining the high coding efficiency and a system which includes such coding and decoding systems. Reversible coding is realized by multiplying a transform matrix by a fixed number for each row to approximate the transform matrix with integer values, performing re-quantization in a basic region defined by a multiple of a determinant for suppressing redundancy while maintaining a condition wherein reversible coding is possible in the basic region, and performing re-quantization for the entire region making use of the fact that such basic region appears periodically in a signal space.
