20090052530 | IMAGE DATA COMPRESSION DEVICE, COMPRESSING METHOD, IMAGE DATA DECOMPRESSION DEVICE, DECOMPRESSING METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A quantizer quantizes a “prediction error” as a difference value between a pixel X to be compressed and a prediction value X′. A variable-length encoder inputs a quantization number obtained from a quantization table of the quantizer, and outputs a variable-length code (compressed code). A prediction value candidate calculation module calculates candidates 1 through k for a prediction value on the basis of peripheral pixels A, C, and B, and transmits them to a multiplexer (MPX). A prediction value determination module determines a prediction value among the candidates 1 through k for a prediction value on the basis of an intermediate value correspondence table and an intermediate value—image format correspondence table depending on an image format, and transmits a control signal to the multiplexer (MPX). The multiplexer (MPX) outputs one of the candidates 1 through k for a prediction value as a prediction value X′. | 02-26-2009 |

20100074545 | IMAGE COMPRESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE COMPRESSING METHOD, IMAGE DECOMPRESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - In the present invention, a first pixel data group of several pixels existing in block into which an image is divided is divided, thereby generating several second pixel data groups. In the second pixel data group, an orthogonal transformation is performed in several layers using only the predetermined number of coefficients from the lowest frequency side from among the coefficients obtained by the orthogonal transformation. The predetermined number of coefficients from the lowest frequency side from among the coefficients obtained by the orthogonal transformation in the highest layer, and the coefficients that are obtained in a layer other than the highest layer not used for the orthogonal transformation are encoded, thereby generation the compressed data. Accordingly, encoding is performed while separating lower frequency components from higher frequency components. | 03-25-2010 |
