20080199092 | Image Data Generating Method, Apparatus Thereof, Image Distributing System, Image Distributing Apparatus Thereof, and Their Programs - There are included an image data storing means for accumulating image data of JPEG format; an image dividing means for dividing the accumulated JPEG images; and a distributing means for distributing the divided image data to a client. The image dividing means decides a title area containing an image area required for display at the client, and extracts coefficient data, which corresponds to the title area, from the image data accumulated in the image data storing means. The image dividing means then calculates, as coefficient data to be distributed to the client, the values of AC components of the extracted coefficient data as they are but, as to DC components thereof, a result of addition of the values of the DC components to those in the adjacent, immediately preceding title area. The distributing means distributes, as the image data, the coefficient data as calculated to the client. | 08-21-2008 |

20110103489 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENCODING AND DECODING BY WAVELET TRANSFORM - A wavelet transform encoding apparatus includes a coefficient encoding unit which encodes each group of multiple wavelet transform coefficients LH, HL, and NH located spatially at the same position within multiple high-frequency subbands belonging to the same hierarchy. At the time, the coefficient encoding unit calculates an encoding parameter for the wavelet transform coefficient of an encoding object based on multiple encoded vicinal wavelet transform coefficients within the multiple high-frequency subbands belonging to the same hierarchy, and encodes the wavelet transform coefficient of the encoding object into a variable-length code by utilizing the calculated encoding parameter. | 05-05-2011 |
20110317929 | 2 DIMENSIONAL SIGNAL ENCODING/DECODING METHOD AND DEVICE - An image is divided into subbands by wavelet transform using the Haar function as the base, and the lowest-frequency LL subband is entirely encoded. LH, HL, and HH subband coefficients which belong to the wavelet decomposition level of each hierarchy are then encoded such that coefficients at the same spatial position are encoded at once. The decoding side first decompresses the lowest-frequency LL subband, and then decodes sets of the LH, HL, and HH coefficients at the same spatial position in the subband of each wavelet decomposition level one by one. The decoding side immediately performs inverse wavelet transform by using the coefficient values, thereby obtaining the LL coefficient value of the next wavelet decomposition level. This makes it possible to sufficiently increase the processing speed even when the wavelet encoding/decoding is performed using a sequential CPU. | 12-29-2011 |
20120140833 | MOVING IMAGE CODING DEVICE - This moving image coding device has an update region detection unit, a coding target region detection and cache update unit, and a coding unit. The update region detection unit compares a reference frame and a current frame, and detects an update region that a pixel value changed. The coding target region detection and cache update unit replaces an image of an update region in the reference frame with an image in a cache frame, and thereafter, detects a region that a pixel value changed as a coding target region and stores an image of a region that a pixel value did not change for a predetermined past period in the image of the update region in the reference frame before the replacement, into the cache frame as an image of a stable region. The coding unit codes an image of the coding target region and cache information. | 06-07-2012 |

The updated block detection means compares pixel values between a frame of an input video and the previous frame, and detects a block including a pixel in which a value having been changed, as an updated block. The natural image updated block determination means calculates an index value representing a degree of continuity of changes in pixel values in the updated block, compares the calculated index value with a threshold, and determines whether it is an updated block of a natural image. The moving image block extraction means extracts a block determined to be an updated block of a natural image a given number of times or more in most recent frames including the frame, as a moving image block of a natural image. | 05-29-2014 |
