The close-up imaging device is mounted onto the mobile communication terminal device, and a moving image of the tissue to be observed of the examined eye is captured by a camera module built into the mobile communication terminal device. Then, in a diagnosis support server device, a diagnosable frame image included in the captured moving image is extracted, at least one of a heath state of the examined eye and any one or more of a distance, an angle, and an area in some tissue of the examined eye is estimated on the basis of the diagnosable frame image extracted, and diagnosis support information is generated and distributed to the corresponding mobile communication terminal device.

Abstract: A compression device includes a first compressor section, a second compressor section, and a selector. The first compressor section outputs a first compression result or a second compression result as a middle compression result. The first compression result includes a first compression pixel value generated by compressing pixel values of compression target pixels without referring to pixel values of pixels belonging to a line different from a current line. The second compression result includes a second compression pixel value generated by compressing pixel values of the compression target pixels based on a correlation among pixel values of the compression target pixels and reference approximate pixel values. The second compressor section outputs a third compression result based on the correlation among the pixel values of the compression target pixels. The selector outputs one of the middle compression result or the third compression result as a final compression result.

Abstract: An image coding device includes a first block encoder and a second block encoder. The first block encoder compresses input pixel values including first and second input pixel values in a block. The first input pixel value is located at a first position of the block, and the second input pixel value is located at a second position of the block. The second block encoder compresses the input pixel values by the unit block. The first and second block encoders compare the input pixel values based on different methods of compression. The first block encoder outputs the first input pixel value as a first compressed pixel value, and compresses the second input pixel value to a second compressed pixel value.

Abstract: A compressor includes a memory storing a de-compression pixel value de-compressed after a pixel value is compressed, a direct compression unit compressing a pixel value corresponding to a compression target pixel, and a first difference compression unit configured to compress a difference value between the pixel value corresponding to the compression target pixel and a decompression pixel value corresponding to at least one reference pixel, an error evaluation unit, and a decompression unit. The error evaluation unit compares a pixel value error of the direct compression unit before and after compression with a difference value error of the first difference compression unit before and after compression and outputs a compression value obtained through compression of the direct compression unit or a compression value obtained through compression of the first difference compression unit together with an identifier indicating a compression method, based on the comparison result, to the decompression unit.
