  • Publication number: 20050100233
    Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for compressing motion image information by means of predictive coding with a high compression ratio while maintaining high image quality. An image in each frame is divided into blocks in advance, and each of all blocks is approximated by (replaced with) a single plane defined by three data representing the magnitude of the intensity of the block, the block-to-block gradient of the intensity in the x direction, and the block-to-block gradient of the intensity in the y direction. Furthermore, corresponding pixels are compared with each other in each block consisting of n×m pixels between frames, and differential information is generated-according to the comparison result. Pixels indicated as being not greater than a parameter is treated (deleted) as pixels having no difference between frames. Information compression is performed for pixels indicated as being greater than the parameter.

  • Publication number: 20040247192
    Abstract: A method and system for compressing motion image information, which can compress data that can be subjected to predictive encoding. An image within a frame is divided into blocks before an inter-frame compression procedure begins, and each block is approximated with a single plane represented by at least three components for pixels within each block. Pixels between the original image and the image expanded after compressed can be compared, and when a pixel that causes greater difference than a given parameter to occur exists, intra-frame compression is performed using a smaller block size. Furthermore, when the respective I blocks, which are spatially divided, are dispersed between each frame along the temporal axis, no I block is inserted into any block within the frame that has been updated due to difference between frames being greater than parameter P during a designated period of time.

  • Patent number: 6793724
    Abstract: An ink for ink-jet recording comprises a pigment, an anionic surfactant, and a cationic surfactant. The cationic surfactant interacts with the anionic surfactant which does not contribute to the dispersion of the pigment in the ink to avoid any excessive permeation of the anionic surfactant into paper. It is possible to obtain a sharp image in which the printing concentration is high and the feathering and the bleeding are scarcely caused.

  • Patent number: 6631161
    Abstract: A motion image information compression system having an entropy coding circuit for reducing redundant information between frames is capable of compressing information such as image information or sound information by means of predictive coding, with a high compression ratio and at a high speed while maintaining high image and sound quality. In this system, comparison of spatially or temporally adjacent pixels to each other and output of differential information are made by the entropy coding circuit. Further, a bit map information storage circuit compares pixels t and corresponding pixels t−1 to each other between frames, detects an area where the absolute values of pixel differences are greater than a given parameter, and stores the detected area and the other area into the form of a 1-bit bit map.

  • Patent number: 6084913
    Abstract: A method and system for compressing dynamic image information includes a divider which divides each frame of dynamic image data of 16 frames into 4.times.4 pixel blocks that are non-overlapping. A first zigzag scanner arranges each of the blocks in the order of the frames to form a 16.times.16 block. A two-dimensional orthogonal transformer subjects the 16.times.16 block to a two-dimensional DCT to encode the units of the block in a frequency band. A quantizer multiplies the 16.times.16 data by quantization coefficients to approximate the value of the data at discrete levels. A second scanner stores the quantized DCT data as a one-dimensional array from low to high frequency components. A variable length encoder then encodes the scanned data.

  • Patent number: 5747611
    Abstract: Spherical polymer particles have at least two peaks, or have at least one peak and a shoulder formed on the high-molecular weight side with respect to the peak, in their chromatogram obtained by gel permeation chromatography. The spherical polymer particles can turn into a viscoelastic form in a broad temperature range, and promise a superior heat fixing performance of toner images especially when used as image forming toner.
