  • Patent number: 10984561
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for image compression and a device using the same method. The method includes: retrieving an image block including pixels, wherein each pixel include a plurality of channel data; defining root nodes according to an image compressing ratio of the image block; categorizing each channel data of each pixel into groups corresponding to the root nodes, wherein a structure of each group is a binary tree; if an empty tree exists in the aforementioned groups, dividing an non-empty tree of the groups into sub-trees and replacing the empty tree and the non-empty tree with the sub-trees to update the groups and the root nodes; building a center value of each group and determining a group index of each channel data of each group; encoding the center value of each group and characterizing each channel data as the corresponding center value and the group index to compress each channel data.

  • Patent number: 10880561
    Abstract: An image processing method and an image processing device are provided. The method includes: retrieving a first and second blocks and compressing the first and second blocks into a first and second streams; in response to determining performing a dynamic memory allocation mechanism to the first and second blocks, respectively allocating a first and second private storage spaces to the first and second blocks, and allocating a shared storage space shared by the first and second blocks and divided into multiple segments; when the first private storage space is insufficient to store the first stream, using the first private storage space and a first part of the segments to cooperatively store the first stream; when the second private storage space is insufficient to store the second stream, using the second private storage space and a second part of the segments to cooperatively store the second stream.
