  • Method and apparatus for image representation and/or reorientation
    Patent number: 6275615
    Abstract: An attribute detecting apparatus of data signals obtains a block to which a mapped point belongs, for data signals divided into a plurality of blocks; sequentially repeats mapping processing in such a way that the mapped point belonging to the block is mapped to a similar region in the data signals previously allowed to correspond to the block (by setting an attribute detection position to an initial position of the mapped point and using the preceding mapping point as a new mapped point); and decides the attribute at the attribute detection position on the basis of position data of the mapping points obtained by the repeated mappings. An attribute detecting apparatus suitable for detecting the attributes of the fractal coded video signals can be realized.
    Type: Grant
