    摘要: Television images to be digitally recorded are divided into blocks and the discrete cosine transform DCT of each block is taken. The DC coefficient of each DCT block is scalar-quantized, and its AC coefficients are classified-vector-quantized (CVQ). The square of the value that part or all the AC coefficients among horizontal AC coefficients including a first AC coefficient and vertical AC coefficients including a second AC coefficient, according to the zigzag scanning sequence of DCT block, are subtracted from a representative value of a preset reference class. Using a multilevel compression method, lowest level codes are vector-partitioned by P-units at equal intervals with respect to each classified DCT block, and code books of representative vectors corresponding to the partitioned vectors are provided. Indices of corresponding representative vectors in respective code books and the classified codes are taken as encoding data corresponding to AC coefficients to keep a constant number of bits in the lowest level codes. Then, errors created in a preceding level are corrected. Code books of S-units of representative vectors corresponding to the errors are provided again, and corresponding indices and parity data in the respective code books are provided. Here, codes are output in which an image is more compactly compressed in lower levels, and higher levels have more elaborate picture quality. During tape recording, the codes descriptive of the scalar quantized DC term, the classification of the AC terms and the lowest-level vector-quantization index for each successive DCT block are grouped together for recording in a respective one of regularly spaced equal-length segments of the recording tracks. Decoding is performed in the reverse sequence of encoding. During a high speed search, only lowest level codes having a constant number of bits are decoded regardless of the complexity of the picture, so that picture quality is good enough to discern the nature of the images.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for compression encoding successive input images into a plurality of sync blocks which are sequentially recorded on a record carrier, comprises digitally processing each of the input images in accordance with a first image compression encoding technique so as to provide a first digital signal representative of a low resolution version of each of the input images. The input images are also digitally processed in accordance with a second image compression encoding technique which is different from the first image compression encoding technique so as to provide a second digital signal representative of a higher resolution version of each of the input images. Consecutive portions of both of the first and second digital signals are combined into sequential sync blocks which are then sequentially recorded on a record carrier.

    摘要: A video tape includes a plurality of parallel slant tracks formed therein. Each track includes a plurality of successively recorded sync blocks. In each sync block, a respective portion of a first digital signal recorded therein represents a predetermined portion of an input image with relatively low resolution, and a respective portion of a second digital signal recorded therein represents substantially the same predetermined portion of the input image with relatively high resolution. Successive sync blocks include consecutive portions of the first digital signal, which portions correspond to spatially adjacent portions of the input image. Preferably, each sync block includes a fixed number of bits of the first digital signal, which is decodable without reference to any image coded signal from other sync blocks. The first digital signal codes the input images as raster scanned in reduced-resolution form for reproduction during a trickplay mode and the second digital signal comprises variable-bit-length codes permitting reproduction of the input images in full-resolution form during a normal-play mode. The second digital signal is not decodable unless there is reference to the portion of the first digital signal recorded in the same sync block, or portions of the second digital signal in other ones of the sync blocks, or to the portion of the first digital signal recorded in the same sync block and portions of the second digital signal in other ones of the sync blocks.

    摘要: An image carrier for storing video information including a plurality of slant tracks recorded thereon, wherein each of the tracks is characterized as including a predetermined number of sync blocks defining a predetermined track length, wherein each of the sync blocks is divided into first and second portions storing respective first and second digital signals coded therein. The first digital signal permits reconstruction of an input image during a trickplay mode of operation while the second digital signal permits reconstruction of an input image with a comparable resolution during a normal play mode of operation. On the average, the first digital signal of each sync block represents a complete scan line of the input image.
