Abstract: A method of block encoding of an image includes partitioning an image into a plurality of blocks each having a plurality of pixels corresponding to a first matrix, obtaining a first block from the plurality of blocks, rearranging pixels of the first block for generating a second block according to an arrangement rule, performing wavelet transformation for the second block for generating a third block having a plurality of wavelet coefficients corresponding to the first matrix, rearranging the wavelet coefficients of the third block for generating a fourth block according to the arrangement rule, quantizing the fourth block, and encoding a quantized result of the fourth block.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for compressing and decompressing pixel data and the device thereof. The method comprises receiving current pixel data from a preprocessor and comparing the current pixel data with predictor pixel data to obtain a section index from a quantization table. Output the section index to a memory as compressed data. Then, receive the compressed data from the memory. Use the quantization table to look up a representative level corresponding to the compressed data and output decompressed pixel data based on the representative level to an image processing unit. The device mentioned above comprises a memory, a compressor and a decompressor. The memory stores compressed data. The compressor quantizes and compresses pixel data and outputs the compressed pixel data to the memory. The decompressor receives the compressed pixel data and decompresses the compressed pixel data and outputs the decompressed pixel data as pixel data.

Abstract: A method for encoding video data includes the steps of providing video data having a plurality of frames each of which has a plurality of blocks each of which has a predetermined number of pixels, providing a codebook having indices each representing a different pattern, performing an intra-coding process with respect to a first set of frames of the plurality of frames to select from the codebook best match indices for respective blocks of the first set of frames, performing a predictive coding process with respect to a second set of frames of the plurality of frames to obtain codes for respective blocks of the second set of frames, wherein each of the codes has an index-body determined using the best match indices for the blocks of the first set of frames and best match indices selected from the codebook for the blocks of the second set of frames, and performing a bi-directional predictive coding process with respect to a third set of frames of the plurality of frames to obtain codes for respective blocks of
