Abstract: A method and apparatus for encoding and decoding image data. The method of encoding image data includes spatially predicting pixel values of a one-dimensional block of an image using blocks spatially adjacent to the one-dimensional block or temporally predicting the pixel values of the one-dimensional block using a temporally previous frame; transforming and quantizing the pixel values of the one-dimensional block; and generating bit streams for a one-dimensional conversion block when the transformed and quantized one-dimensional block is defined as the one-dimensional conversion block. Therefore, since the method and apparatus encode and decode image data in one-dimensional block units, real-time encoding and decoding can be achieved. In addition, compression efficiency can be enhanced while minimizing visual degradation of image quality.

Abstract: A dynamic capacitance compensation (DCC) apparatus and method for a liquid crystal display (LCD). The apparatus includes a one-dimensional block-encoding unit reading pixel values of an image in line units, dividing the pixel values of the read image into one-dimensional blocks in predetermined pixel units, transforming and quantizing the one-dimensional blocks, and generating bit streams; a memory storing the generated bit streams; a one-dimensional block-decoding unit which decodes the bit streams stored in the memory by inverse quantization and inverse transform; and a compensation pixel value-detecting unit detecting a compensation pixel value for each pixel based on a difference between each pixel value of a current frame and each pixel value of a previous frame decoded by the one-dimensional block-decoding unit.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for spatially predicting image data, an apparatus and method for encoding image data, an apparatus and method for compensating for spatial prediction of image data, and an apparatus and method for decoding image data. The spatial prediction apparatus of image data includes: a spatial prediction unit performing a spatial prediction of pixel values of a current block using pixel values of blocks adjacent to an upper row of the current block. A pipeline process is possible when the spatial prediction is performed, thereby performing real time encoding and decoding.
