20090232393 | IMAGE PROCESSOR - In a first input step from outside to an image processor, a signal input unit inputs to a pre-filter a first part of first luminance signals inputted from outside, which is a part to be processed by the pre-filter in the first input step, and stores a remaining second part of the first luminance signals in the memory unit. In a second input step following the first input step, the signal input unit inputs to the pre-filter the second part of the first luminance signals read from the memory unit and a first part of second luminance signals inputted from outside, which is a part to be processed by the pre-filter in the second input step, and stores a remaining second part of the second luminance signals in the memory unit. | 09-17-2009 |
20090238447 | IMAGE PROCESSOR - An image processor includes a frequency transform unit performing frequency transform independently on a luminance signal and plural chrominance signals and outputting an item of frequency data of the luminance signal and plural items of frequency data of the chrominance signals, and a quantization unit performing quantization independently on plural items of frequency data inputted from the frequency transform unit. The quantization unit performs quantization on one or plural specific items of frequency data corresponding to a signal with noise among the frequency data of the luminance signal and the chrominance signals, employing a quantization coefficient having a value greater than “1”, and performs quantization on frequency data apart from the specific items of frequency data, employing a quantization coefficient having a value “1”. | 09-24-2009 |
20090238477 | IMAGE PROCESSOR - An image processor includes an encoder and a decoder. The encoder includes a frequency transform unit, a pre-filter, and a color conversion unit that converts a pixel signal of a first color space inputted from outside into a pixel signal of a second color space including a luminance signal and chrominance signals. The decoder includes a frequency inverse transform unit, a post-filter, and a color inverse conversion unit that inversely converts a pixel signal of the second color space into a pixel signal of the first color space. The pre-filter performs prefiltering on one or plural specific signals among the luminance and chrominance signals. The post-filter does not perform postfiltering on the above specific signals. | 09-24-2009 |
20100135589 | IMAGE PROCESSOR - An image processor includes a frequency transform unit performing frequency transform on a first pixel block as a target block, and a pre-filter performing prefiltering with a region which overlaps with plural unit regions for processing by the frequency transform unit as a unit region for processing, before frequency transform is performed. The pre-filter performs prefiltering on a second pixel block being a predetermined number of pixels each larger horizontally and vertically than the first pixel block as a target block. The pre-filter performs prefiltering sequentially on a plurality of second pixel blocks aligned horizontally. The number of pixel signals in a vertical direction within a group of pixel signals continuously inputted to the pre-filter for prefiltering is equal to the number of rows in the second pixel block. | 06-03-2010 |
