  • Patent number: 6240212
    Abstract: There is provided an improved scan interleaving method suitable for multipurpose encoding of binary image data, and for selectively encoding a part or the whole of object image data according to presence or absence of exceptional sampling data (ESD). In the present invention, when the pixel data of base image data and the corresponding pixel data of the object image data to be scan-interleaved are the same (in the case of predictive sampling data), no encoding is performed on the pixels of the object image data which have no ESD, thus simplifying the algorithm and system implementation. As a result, the overall encoding performance can be improved.

  • Patent number: 6198508
    Abstract: A method for encoding picture data using scan interleaving pixels and an apparatus and method for encoding the picture data includes the steps of determining whether pixels of a present scanning line in a predetermined frame of an image should be encoded according to comparison results between pixels of a previous scanning line and pixels of a next scanning line and between pixels of a previous or next scanning line and pixels of the current scanning line, and encoding pixels of lines of the image excluding pixels that are determined to not be encoded.

  • Patent number: 6173080
    Abstract: A discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficient prediction method and a DCT coefficient encoding method are provided. For the prediction of AC coefficients, location information of the nonzero AC coefficients is used. Then, the AC coefficients are divided into the vertical and horizontal component areas, and a remaining area, and variable modified zigzag scanning is applied for encoding. The performance of the AC coefficient prediction coding is improved as the absolute values of the predicted coefficients are small, and as the number of coefficients of value zero increases. The coefficients of value zero may be predicted as nonzero, so these coefficients are eliminated from the prediction. On the other hand, when using the characteristics of the adjacent blocks in a spatial domain, a larger weighted value is applied to the pixel values which are the nearest to the current block, thereby improving the prediction characteristics for DC/AC coefficients in a discrete cosine transform (DCT) domain.

  • Patent number: 6021230
    Abstract: An improved interpolation method in which a threshold value used for determining a pixel value of a pixel generated by interpolation according to a context (state value of adjacent pixels). In the interpolation method, the ambiguity between the interpolation value and the threshold value is removed by using the context (state value of the reference pixels around the interpolated pixel), thereby reducing the blocking and smoothing phenomena in the restored binary image.

  • Patent number: 6016111
    Abstract: A digital data coding/decoding method and apparatus are provided. The coding method includes the steps of representing respective digital data by digits of a predetermined same number, and coding the digital data represented by digits of the same number by a predetermined coding method from the uppermost significant digit sequence to the least significant digit sequence.

  • Patent number: 5943447
    Abstract: A video signal encoding and/or decoding method based on adaptive lattice quantization. An input frame of a video sequence is partitioned into blocks of pixel data called vectors. The set of the vectors is partitioned into blocks called macroblocks. The vectors in each macroblock are subjected to lattice vector quantization which examines the range of vector components in multiple dimensions and adjusts the density of lattice vectors in accordance with the range of vector components. Quantization unit replaces each input vector for a nearest lattice vector in multidimensional space. Each quantized vector in the macroblock is converted into an index of a lattice vector. An overhead information about the range in a macroblock and set of indices with or without subsequent Huffman or Arithmetic coding is transmitted to or stored in the receiver end.
